Tropical cyclones (TCs, also known as hurricanes and typhoons) generally form at low
latitudes with access to the warm waters of the tropical oceans, but far enough off the …

The frequency with which tropical cyclones (TCs) occur controls all other aspects of tropical
cyclone risk since a storm that does not occur can do no harm. Yet this frequency is poorly …

Regional climate modeling using convection‐permitting models (CPMs; horizontal grid
spacing< 4 km) emerges as a promising framework to provide more reliable climate …

Recent research has strengthened the understanding of the links between climate and
tropical cyclones (TCs) on various timescales. Geological records of past climates have …

A large number of intense cyclones occur every year in the Mediterranean basin, one of the
climate change hotspots. Producing a broad range of severe socio-economic and …

When a hurricane strikes land, the destruction of property and the environment and the loss
of life are largely confined to a narrow coastal area. This is because hurricanes are fuelled …

A century ago, meteorologists regarded tropical cyclones as shallow vortices, extending
upward only a few kilometers into the troposphere, and nothing was known about their …

Precipitation over and near mountains is not caused by topography but, rather, occurs when
storms of a type that can occur anywhere (deep convection, fronts, tropical cyclones) form …

Earth's upper-level jet streams influence the speed and direction of travel of weather
systems and commercial aircraft, and are linked to severe weather occurrence. Climate …

Historical records of Atlantic hurricane activity, extending back to 1851, show increasing
activity over time, but much or all of this trend has been attributed to lack of observations in …
