After a Hurricane, Coastal Systems Draw a Line in the Sand

by J. Besl 13 April 202213 April 2022

A new study finds nature can’t have it both ways: On the basis of thousands of case studies from dozens of hurricanes, there’s always a trade-off between resistance and resilience.

Supercell Thunderstorms Shake Up the Stratosphere

by Jordan Wilkerson 28 October 20218 March 2022

Supercell storm tops may act like mountains that obstruct winds, transforming their flow into violent turbulence that mixes near-surface air with the stratosphere above.

Lightning Tames Typhoon Intensity Forecasting

by Alka Tripathy-Lang 20 August 202119 November 2021

Typhoons regularly drench densely populated western Pacific regions, but lightning could forecast intensity more than a day before a storm’s strength peaks.
