Physically based assessment of hurricane surge threat under climate change

N Lin, K Emanuel, M Oppenheimer… - Nature Climate …, 2012 - nature.com
Storm surges are responsible for much of the damage and loss of life associated with
landfalling hurricanes. Understanding how global warming will affect hurricane surges thus …

A model for the complete radial structure of the tropical cyclone wind field. Part I: Comparison with observed structure

DR Chavas, N Lin, K Emanuel - Journal of the Atmospheric …, 2015 - journals.ametsoc.org
Part I of this work develops a simple model for the complete radial structure of the low-level

Projected climate change impacts on hurricane storm surge inundation in the coastal United States

J Camelo, TL Mayo, ED Gutmann - Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020 - frontiersin.org
The properties of hurricanes directly influence storm surges; however, the implications of
projected changes to the climate are unclear. Here, we simulate the storm surges of …

[HTML][HTML] A simple model for predicting the tropical cyclone radius of maximum wind from outer size

DR Chavas, JA Knaff - Weather and Forecasting, 2022 - journals.ametsoc.org
The radius of maximum wind (R max) in a tropical cyclone governs the footprint of hazards,
including damaging wind, surge, and rainfall. However, R max is an inconstant quantity that …

Climate change impacts to the coastal flood hazard in the northeastern United States

TL Mayo, N Lin - Weather and Climate Extremes, 2022 - Elsevier
It is widely accepted that climate change will cause sea level rise and increase the coastal
flood hazard in many places. However, climate change also has significant implications for …
