An Overview and Evaluation of SynthETC: A Statistical Model for Extra-Tropical Cyclones
<p>Extratropical cyclones (ETCs) are the most common weather phenomena affecting the United States, Canada, and Europe. They can pose serious hazards over large swaths of area. In this thesis, a statistical model of ETCs, called SynthETC, is discussed. The model accounts for the for genesis, track …

Entrainment in Saldanha Bay
… in summer, coastal lows, and eastward moving extra tropical cyclones (Shannon 1985). In summer, the band of extra tropical cyclones associated with the jetstream moves to the south of its winter position, while the South Atlantic High intensifies and moves approximately 6° to the south …

The UK wind regime - Observational trends and extreme event analysis and modelling
… alike. In Europe, strong winds within extra-tropical cyclones (ETCs) remain on average the most economically significant weather peril when averaged over multiple years, so an understanding how ETCs cause extreme surface winds and how these extremes vary over time is crucial. An …

A Machine-Learning Based Approach to Predicting Waterborne Disease Outbreaks Caused by Hurricanes
… is increasing the frequency and intensity of (extra-) tropical cyclones including hurricanes and winter storms worldwide. Waterborne diseases, resulting from flood-related impacts, affect public health and are of major concern for society. Previous research studies have highlighted a …

An investigation of wind- and wave-driven dynamics in Antarctic sea ice from multiple types of buoy arrays
… nature and response of the MIZ sea ice to extra-tropical cyclones, at both the synoptic and sub-daily scales, as well as to waves propagating into the Antarctic ice cover. This was done using multiple types of buoy arrays, which were operational in different regions around Antarctica and …

Detection and identification of mechanisms and trends of sea ice drift variability in the Southern Ocean
… transient weather phenomena, such as polar and extra-tropical cyclones, which are major drivers of short-term sea-ice variability. This thesis presents a systematic investigation into the weather-induced rotation dynamics in Antarctic sea ice, with a focus on the feasibility of quantifying …
