If a storm is currently active, the current winds and level of development as reported by the best track file are noted in blue. (For the latest wind information on an active storm, please visit the agency responsible for issuing forecasts in the particular basin you are looking at.) Winds...
In addition, there is a weak sinking motion, or subsidence, as air is pulled into the eyewall at the surface. As the air subsides, it compresses slightly and warms, so that temperatures at the centre of a tropical cyclone are some 5.5 °C (10 °F) higher than in other regions of ...
Tropical cyclone riskHazardsExposure and vulnerabilityMulti-hazard risk mappingQueenslandAustraliaTropical cyclones (TCs) are dangerous and destructive natural hazards that impact population, infrastructure, and the environment. TCs are multi-hazardous severe weather phenomena; they produce damaging winds, storm...
Fig. 5: Tropical cyclone (TC) intensity, rain rate, and vertical velocity of TC in the numerical experiments. Full size image We further calculate the changes in stratiform and convective rain based on the method described earlier. The average stratiform and convective rain of CTRL are 0.76...
Theoretical models of the potential intensity of tropical cyclones (TCs) suggest that TC rainfall rates should increase in a warmer environment but limited observational evidence has been studied to test these hypotheses on a global scale. The present st
Increasing storm frequency and intensity may be linked to increasing sea surface temperatures caused by anthropogenic global warming, although the changes described here may be limited to a relatively small geographical region, as opposed to representing basin wide tropical cyclone behavior. The growing ...

Subsequently, the cyclone went through cycles of weakening and re-intensifying--counting its initial classification as a tropical storm, Kyle was upgraded to tropical storm intensity five times. The storm eventually moved westward, then turned northward, grazing the North Carolina coastline before ...

Specifically, since the predictability of tropical cyclone (TC) genesis is a notable challenge in NWP and there have not yet been many high-resolution ensemble studies emphasizing this topic, we choose to examine the effect of SKEBS and characterize the underdispersion of ensemble forecasts in TC...
