Interview: Bill Formoso talks about the recent tropical storms in the Philippines and the devastation to Quezon provinceJENNIFER LUDDEN
Tropical cyclones that rapidly intensify are typically associated with the highest forecast errors and cause a disproportionate amount of human and financial losses. Therefore, it is crucial to understand if, and why, there are observed upward trends in tropical cyclone intensification rates. Here, we...
The analysis reveals that the occurrence of summer Monsoon Depressions (MDs) over the North Arabian Sea is doubling during 2001–2022 compared to the 1981–2000 period. This increase stems from changes in the region’s dynamic and thermodynamic condition
extreme precipitation events are becoming less frequent but more intense, with a shift towards a larger effect of extratropical forcing over tropical forcing in recent decades24. In September 2023, and owing to the high sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and advection of cooler air at upper-levels ...
the subtropical highs are projected to migrate poleward by 1.5°, consistent with the projected expansion of the Hadley Cells, with a weakening of the tropical easterly jet in the summer by up to a third and a strengthening of the subtropical jet in winter typically by 10% except over the ...
Here we test the predictive power of the methodology based on two real tsunamis in Tonga: the January 15, 2022 and September 29, 2009 events. We also show the relevance of this methodology for other types of natural hazards such as storms, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. Case study #1...
These data imply that short-term extreme climatic events should have played an important role in the Chinese dynasty alternation. Recent studies indicated that annual to daily climatic events, such as severe storms, cyclones and tornadoes could have significant impacts on human beings, but such ...
