Tropical cyclones and climate change

Tropical Cyclones and Global Climate Change: A Post-IPCC Assessment

The very limited instrumental record makes extensive analyses of the natural variability of global tropical cyclone activities difficult in most of the tropical cyclone basins. However, in the two regions where reasonably reliable records exist (the North Atlantic and the western North Pacific), substantial multidecadal variability (particularly for intense Atlantic hurricanes) is found, but th...

Climate change. Can we detect trends in extreme tropical cyclones?

process may not have been so smooth as initially thought, and numerical simulations performed by Tsiganis et al. (4) show that the passage of Jupiter and Saturn through a 2:1 resonance may have ignited a period of strong chaotic evolution of Uranus and Neptune. In this scenario, the two planets had frequent close encounters and may even have exchanged orbits before their eccentricities finally ...

The Effect of Tropical Cyclones on Climate Change Engagement

Personal experience can influence our attitudes and actions concerning climate change. This paper examines the experience-perception link in relation to tropical cyclones using a distinctly revealed preference approach, mitigating biases of prior research in this area. Specifically, we study how people alter their internet searches related to climate change in response to tropical cyclones. Usi...

Workshop on Tropical Cyclones and Climate

In final form 31 October 2006 ©2007 American Meteorological Society ropical cyclones (TCs) are among the most destructive of natural disasters. The statistics of TC occurrence and intensity are influenced by variations in the large-scale climate, but many aspects of this influence are poorly understood. Even less is known about the influence of tropical cyclones on the large-scale climate. Thes...
