On the climate variability of tropical cyclone potential intensity and Atlantic hurricane activity
… The model notably shows that tropical North-Atlantic PI variations over the last 40 years have been dominated by local influences. The final part of the thesis evaluates the causes of the Atlantic hurricane drought of the 1970s and 1980s. An anthropogenic nature of the hurricane drought is …

Sea Surface Temperatures and Vertical Wind Shear as Precursors to Tropical Cyclone Activity in the Caribbean and an Expanding Main Developing Region
… for the Caribbean, surrounding region, and the Atlantic hurricane main developing region from 1982 to 2020. Storm intensity increases significantly during this period. Annual and seasonal trends show regional SSTs in the MDR are warming annually (0.0219°C yr<sup>-1</sup>) and per season …

High resolution sedimentary archives of past millennium hurricane activity in the Bahama Archipelago
Little is known about how Atlantic hurricane activity changes on long timescales. This thesis uses proxy development and proxy-model integration to constrain the spatiotemporal variability in hurricane activity in the Bahama Archipelago over the past millennium. I present annually-resolved archives …

Tropical Islands; or, how the architectural interior became the primary site of aesthetic mediation
… metropolitan area was suffering the worst of Hurricane Harvey, the first tropical cyclone of the abnormally active 2017 Atlantic hurricane season. The floods led to the widespread loss of electricity, the death of over 106 residents, and the incurment of over $125 billion in damage. During its …

Interaction Of The Cyclonic Winds With The Infrasonic Signal Generated By A Large Maritime Storm
… storm intensity. For a storm in the open Atlantic, microbaroms which have strongly interacted with the storm winds are predicted to have back azimuths oriented towards the storm center and are only expected to be observed in a localized region to the northwest of the storm. Microbaroms …

Assessing impact of the sulfate aerosol first indirect effect on tropical cyclone activity
… sulfate aerosol first indirect effect (AIE) on Atlantic hurricane intensity and genesis. I use a single-column radiative convective model that incorporates the first AIE (aerosol enhancement of cloud reflectivity) through parameterization of cloud droplet number, radius, and optical depth. Cloud …

The use of gamma distributions to quantify the dependence of cloud particle size distributions in hurricanes on cloud and environmental conditions
Mesoscale models that predict the temporal evolution of tropical cyclones (TCs) are sensitive to the representation of cloud microphysical processes through their effect on modeled latent heat release. The cloud parameterizations used in such models make assumptions about the size distributions …
