Tropical cyclone frequency

AH Sobel, AA Wing, SJ Camargo, CM Patricola… - Earth's …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Convective self-aggregation in numerical simulations: A review

AA Wing, K Emanuel, CE Holloway, C Muller - Shallow clouds, water …, 2018 - Springer
Organized convection in the tropics occurs across a range of spatial and temporal scales
and strongly influences cloud cover and humidity. One mode of organization found is ''self …

TempestExtremes: A framework for scale-insensitive pointwise feature tracking on unstructured grids

PA Ullrich, CM Zarzycki - Geoscientific Model Development, 2017 - gmd.copernicus.org

Radiative–convective equilibrium model intercomparison project

AA Wing, KA Reed, M Satoh, B Stevens… - Geoscientific Model …, 2018 - gmd.copernicus.org
RCEMIP, an intercomparison of multiple types of models configured in radiative–convective
equilibrium (RCE), is proposed. RCE is an idealization of the climate system in which there …

Physical understanding of the tropical cyclone wind-pressure relationship

DR Chavas, KA Reed, JA Knaff - Nature communications, 2017 - nature.com
The relationship between the two common measures of tropical cyclone intensity, the central
pressure deficit and the peak near-surface wind speed, is a long-standing problem in …

Observed tropical cyclone size revisited

DR Chavas, N Lin, W Dong, Y Lin - Journal of Climate, 2016 - journals.ametsoc.org
This work revisits the statistics of observed tropical cyclone outer size in the context of recent
advances in our theoretical understanding of the storm wind field. The authors create a new …

Model hierarchies for understanding atmospheric circulation

P Maher, EP Gerber, B Medeiros… - Reviews of …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
In this review, we highlight the complementary relationship between simple and
comprehensive models in addressing key scientific questions to describe Earth's …

Role of radiative–convective feedbacks in spontaneous tropical cyclogenesis in idealized numerical simulations

AA Wing, SJ Camargo… - Journal of the Atmospheric …, 2016 - journals.ametsoc.org
The authors perform 3D cloud-resolving simulations of radiative–convective equilibrium
(RCE) in a rotating framework, with interactive radiation and surface fluxes and fixed sea …

Tropical cyclone seeds, transition probabilities, and genesis

K Emanuel - Journal of Climate, 2022 - journals.ametsoc.org
It has been proposed that tropical cyclogenesis rates can be expressed as the product of the
frequency of “seeds” and a transition probability that depends on the large-scale …

Global tropical cyclone precipitation scaling with sea surface temperature

AM Stansfield, KA Reed - npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023 - nature.com
Understanding the relationship between tropical cyclone (TC) precipitation and sea surface
temperature (SST) is essential for both TC hazard forecasting and projecting how these …
