Cyclone “Seed” Survival Affects Hurricane Season Intensity

Joshua Learn, Science Writer by Joshua Rapp Learn 15 November 202111 January 2022

Understanding how seed storms grow into full-blown hurricanes and typhoons could help predict hurricane season intensity in a changing climate.

Hurricane Forecast Improvement with Better Turbulent Processes

by Robert F. Rogers 4 November 202113 April 2022

A new look at turbulent processes has improved the prediction of hurricane rapid intensification by properly accounting for the unique environment of a hurricane eyewall.

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.

Climate Change Is Making India’s West Coast More Vulnerable to Cyclones

Rishika Pardikar, Science Writer by Rishika Pardikar 13 September 202129 March 2023

A new study found significant increases in the intensity, frequency, and duration of cyclonic storms over the Arabian Sea. Is the west coast prepared?

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.

Tropical Cyclone Induced Increase in Ocean Primary Production

by Suzana Camargo 27 July 20211 March 2023

A positive trend in tropical cyclone induced ocean mixing and primary production is compensating the overall decline in global primary production due to anthropogenic climate change.

Chasing Cyclones from Space

by C. R. Jackson, T. W. Ruff, J. A. Knaff, A. Mouche and C. R. Sampson 2 June 202126 April 2022

The pioneering use of satellite-based synthetic aperture radar to characterize tropical cyclones in near-real time has provided a crucial new tool with which to forecast powerful storms.

Cyclone Tauktae Documents a Climate Trend in the Tropics

Rishika Pardikar, Science Writer by Rishika Pardikar 27 May 20212 March 2023

The western Indian Ocean has been warming at a rate faster than any other region in the tropical oceans, a pattern that is contributing to more frequent and intense storm activity.
