Global warming-induced upper-ocean freshening and the intensification of super typhoons
Super typhoons (STYs), intense tropical cyclones of the western North Pacific, rank among
the most destructive natural hazards globally. The violent winds of these storms induce deep …

Pronounced impact of salinity on rapidly intensifying tropical cyclones
Tropical cyclone (TC) rapid intensification (RI) is difficult to predict and poses a formidable
threat to coastal populations. A warm upper ocean is well known to favor RI, but the role of …

Marine heatwave as a supercharger for the strongest typhoon in the East China Sea
Due to the cold water temperatures, the East China Sea (ECS) is usually unfavorable for
typhoon development. Recently, in a rare event, Typhoon Bavi (2020) reached major …
