Urbanization and industrial development are increasing rapidly. These are accompanied by
problems of population explosion, encroachment of agricultural, and construction lands …

Wind energy is a virtually carbon-free and pollution-free electricity source, with global wind
resources greatly exceeding electricity demand. Accordingly, the installed capacity of wind …

11.21 for hot extremes (HOT EXT.), heavy precipitation (HEAVY PRECIP.), agriculture and …

Assessing the role of anthropogenic warming from temporally inhomogeneous historical
data in the presence of large natural variability is difficult and has caused conflicting …

Intense tropical cyclones (TCs), which often peak in autumn,, have destructive impacts on
life and property,–, making it crucial to determine whether any changes in intense TCs are …

The long-term changes of ocean surface waves associated with tropical cyclones (TCs) are
poorly observed and understood. Here, we present the global trend analysis of TC waves for …

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are drivers of extreme rainfall and surge, but the current and future
TC rainfall–surge joint hazard has not been well quantified. Using a physics-based …

Theoretical understanding of the thermodynamic controls on tropical cyclone (TC) wind
intensity, as well as numerical simulations, implies a positive trend in TC intensity in a …

Rapid intensification (RI) is an essential process in the development of strong tropical
cyclones and a major challenge in prediction. RI in offshore regions is more threatening to …

Abstract The 2020 North Atlantic hurricane season was one of the most active on record,
causing heavy rains, strong storm surges, and high winds. Human activities continue to …
