Migratory cyclones and anticyclones account for most of the day-to-day weather variability in
the extratropics. These transient eddies act to maintain the midlatitude jet streams by …

Abstract Changes in the vertical and meridional temperature gradients of the atmosphere
drive competing influences on storm-track activity. We apply local eddy energetics to the …

This work presents the Thermodynamic Diagnostic Tool (TheDiaTo), a novel diagnostic tool
for investigating the thermodynamics of climate systems with a wide range of applications …

The climate is a nonequilibrium system undergoing the continuous action of forcing and
dissipation. Under the effect of a spatially inhomogeneous absorption of solar energy, all the …

Future changes in the atmospheric energy cycle were estimated by using 12 climate models
from the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) and mass …

In this study, the focus is on investigating how different climate scenarios, as they have been
adopted in Phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), can lead to …

The subtropical part of the eastern Australian seaboard experiences intense cyclonic
activity. The severe damage caused by the intense storms in the region, known as east coast …

The possibility of constructing Lorenz's concept of available potential energy (APE) from a
local principle has been known for some time, but it has received very little attention so far …

The subtropical east coast region of Australia is characterized by the frequent occurrence of
low pressure systems, known as east coast lows (ECLs). The more intense ECLs can cause …

The aim of this study is to investigate whether different Representative Concentration
Pathways (RCPs), as they are determined in the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the …
