Open AccessMoisture control of tropical cyclones in high-resolution simulations of paleoclimate and future climate
The intensity of tropical cyclones (TCs) is expected to increase in response to greenhouse warming. However, how future climate change will affect TC frequencies and tracks is still under debate. Here, to furt...

Open AccessDeclining tropical cyclone frequency under global warming
Assessing the role of anthropogenic warming from temporally inhomogeneous historical data in the presence of large natural variability is difficult and has caused conflicting conclusions on detection and attri...

Estimation of maximum seasonal tropical cyclone damage in the Atlantic using climate models
There are several different estimates of the observed cyclone damage potential of tropical cyclones based on observations of size, intensity and track. For the analysis of climate model data, previous work ide...

Effect of wave-induced mixing on Antarctic sea ice in a high-resolution ocean model
In this study, we investigate how sea ice extent and thickness are affected by additional turbulent mixing from unbroken surface waves. This ‘surface wave mixing’ (SWM) is parameterized by the inclusion of an ...

The influence of El Niño–Southern Oscillation on boreal winter rainfall over Peninsular Malaysia
Multi-scale interactions between El Niño–Southern Oscillation and the Boreal Winter Monsoon contribute to rainfall variations over Malaysia. Understanding the physical mechanisms that control these spatial var...

Simulation of medicanes over the Mediterranean Sea in a regional climate model ensemble: impact of ocean–atmosphere coupling and increased resolution
Medicanes are cyclones over the Mediterranean Sea having a tropical-like structure but a rather small size, that can produce significant damage due to the combination of intense winds and heavy precipitation....

Evaluation of TMPA 3B42 Precipitation Estimates during the Passage of Tropical Cyclones over New Caledonia
This study evaluates the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multi-Satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) 3B42 version 7 (V7) estimates of tropical cyclone (TC) rainfall over New Caledonia using the is...

Projected increase in El Niño-driven tropical cyclone frequency in the Pacific
The El Niño/Southern Oscillation influences tropical cyclone variability. Under climate change, cyclones around Pacific island nations are projected to increase in frequency during El Niño events and decrease ...

Application of a synthetic cyclone method for assessment of tropical cyclone storm tides in Samoa
Tropical cyclone-induced storm surges cause damaging impacts in coastal regions. The present study uses a stochastic cyclone modelling approach to evaluate the likelihoods of storm tides, the combination of st...
