Simulating the characteristics of tropical cyclones over the South West Indian Ocean using an adaptive Stretched-Grid Global Climate Model
… against the Joint Typhoon Warning Centre (JTWC) best track observation, Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) satellite data, and ERA-Interim (ERAINT) reanalysis data. The study also considers the impact of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and the South …

THE EFFECT OF TROPICAL CYCLONE PASSAGE ON UNDERSEA ACOUSTIC PARAMETERS IN THE EAST CHINA SEA
… China Sea using 222 historical tropical cyclone tracks and seven acoustic parameters from 1979 to 2010 (i.e., the global warming period). Data from the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center’s Climate Forecast System Reanalysis ocean dataset and Joint Typhoon Warning Center’s Western …

Observation and Tracking of Tropical Cyclones Using Resolution Enhanced Scatterometry
… standard L2B data product winds, to observe and track tropical cyclones. Resolution enhanced winds are found to provide additional storm structure such as inner core size and structure and the presence of multiple eyewalls compared with standard resolution winds. The 2.5~km winds are also able to …

Estimating Atlantic Basin Tropical Cyclone Landfall Probability for the United States
… United States coastline based on the complete tracks of the storms. A spatial dimension is added so that the entire basin is evaluated to determine which storms in all portions of the basin ultimately strike the United States. A tessellation of 3,375 hexagons are systematically evaluated and …

Mental toughness, servant leadership, and the collegiate distance runner
… = 334) were males and females from 64 collegiate track teams from all divisions of the NCAA. Participants completed the Mental Toughness Questionnaire 48 (MTQ48; Clough et al; 2002), the Revised Servant Leadership Profile for Sport (RSLP- S; Hammermeister et al; 2008), and provided their current …

Model Development and Monte-Carlo Methods for the Simulation and Analysis of Coastal Impacts of Barrier Island Breach During Hurricanes
… to expand GeoClaw's current utilization of best track information so that storm forcing from planetary boundary layer models can also be utilized in simulations. We created a statistical method to assess the sensitivity of mainland storm-surge to barrier island breaching by randomizing the …

Sensitivity of tropical cyclones in the Southwest Indian Ocean to the topography of Madagascar
… The model outputs are then run through the TRACK-1.5.2 program to identify and track TCs. It is found that the TC characteristics in CNTRL are reasonable when compared to those found in observations, which are provided by the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship. Based on …

Secondary Eyewall Formation as a Response to Evolving Tropical Cyclone Wind Structure
… Hurricane Intensity Prediction System) and best-track data and observations of secondary eyewalls, rapid intensification is often followed by secondary eyewall formation. This is concerning from the point of view of risk estimation because it suggests that, in addition to making tropical …

Diurnal analysis of intensity trends in Atlantic tropical cyclones
… surface wind (MSSW) tendencies using Atlantic TC best-track data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Hurricane Center (NHC) over years 1967-2011. In addition, we separate land tracks from warm-water tracks to analyze diurnal departures from the background …

The Evolution and Distribution of Precipitation during Tropical Cyclone Landfalls using the GPM IMERG Product
… North Atlantic (NA) basins. The International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS) data and the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM)'s advanced Integrated Multisatellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) dataset is employed to study the 2014-2020 landfalling TCP at three analysis times: …

Validation Of Integrated Coast-Ocean Model Cche2D-Coast And Development Of Wind Model
… Cyclone Forecast’s (ATCF) guidelines. The best track date, which contains six-hourly information on the location, maximum winds, radii of 3 wind isotach, and central pressure of Hurricane Gustave (2008) is used to compute the wind field in the Gulf of Mexico. The simulation result suggests …

The influence of horizontal resolution and boundary forcing in simulating hurricanes over the South Atlantic Ocean using WRF
… with observational data from the International Best Track and Archive for Climate Stewardship. The results show that both reanalyses datasets give a good representation of the two hurricanes, but they grossly underestimate the intensity thereof. CFSR gives a better representation than that of …

The tropopause region thermal structure and tropical cyclones
… seasonal variability by <30%. Incorporating a best track tropical cyclone archive shows that this result is relevant for real-world tropical cyclones: the tropopause region thermal structure permits intense Western Pacific tropical cyclones in every month of the year, which may have critical …

Simulating the Characteristics of Tropical Cyclones over the South-West Indian Ocean: Sensitivity to Model Horizontal Resolution
… identified using a novel resolution dependent tracking algorithm that includes wind speed, vorticity, and warm core thresholds. All model simulations were validated against the Reunion Specialised Meteorological Centre (RSMC) best track observations and the European Centre for Medium-Range …
