Tropical Cyclone Atsani occurred in late October 2020 and moved westward offshore south of Taiwan. During its offshore passage, the cyclone deflects northward as it closes to the southern end of Taiwan. A global model MPAS at a multi-resolution of 60...
A tropical depression (TD) formed over the northern part of the South China Sea and affected Hong Kong during 25–26 June 2025. Based on the historical database, there were not many TDs following a similar track in the past, namely, a northwestw...
Of all meteorological events, Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are by far the costliest of natural hazards around the globe. They typically lose their strength quite rapidly once making landfall. Recent studies have revealed that TCs, even degrading below TC...
Impact of storm surge largely varies depending on the tidal phase during the landfall of a tropical cyclone. This study investigates comparative variance in inundation condition and thrust force for an identical cyclone during low tide and high tide...
Four-dimensional COAMPS Dynamic Initialization (FCDI) analyses that include high-temporal- and high-spatial-resolution GOES-16 Atmospheric Motion Vector (AMV) datasets are utilized to understand and predict why pre-Bonnie (2022), designated as a Pote...
Tropical cyclone-induced upwelling has an important influence on ocean temperature and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentrations, which are modified by the existence of mesoscale eddies. This paper investigates the regional dynamics and associated variabi...
This study utilizes remote sensing imagery, a differential averaging technique and empirical formulas (the ‘Liou–Liu formulas’) to investigate three consecutive sets of dual-vortex interactions between four cyclonic events and their...
Morphological features of the Mediterranean Sea basin have recently been precursors to a significant increase in the formation of extreme events, in relation to climate change effects. It happens very frequently that rotating air masses and the forma...
The microphysical characteristics of tropical cyclones vary in different rain regions, which affects not only the dynamic and thermodynamic mechanisms of the typhoon system but also the development of tropical cyclones. This study analyzed the raindr...
The NASA CYGNSS satellite constellation measures ocean surface winds using the existing network of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and was designed for measurements in tropical cyclones (TCs). Here, we focus on using a consistent method...
This study investigates the forecast bust of Typhoon SHANSHAN (2024) characterized by large track errors using the four major interactive grand global operational ensemble data and the atmospheric reanalysis data. Ensemble space empirical orthogonal...
At first order, wind-generated ocean surface waves represent the dominant forcing of open-coast morpho-dynamics and associated vulnerability over a wide range of time scales. It is therefore paramount to improve our understanding of the regional coas...
Boundary-layer wind associated with extratropical cyclones (ETCs) is an essential element for posing serious threats to the urban centers of eastern North America. Using a similar methodology for tropical cyclone (TC) wind risk (i.e., hurricane track...
Storm Daniel is arguably one of the most severe Mediterranean tropical-like cyclones (medicanes) ever recorded. Greece was one of the most affected areas, especially the central part of the country. The extreme precipitation that was observed along w...
We examined how wind forcing affects the upper ocean response under idealized tropical cyclone (TC) conditions. In this study, we constructed three parameterized wind fields with varying spatial and temporal resolutions for TCs of different intensiti...
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) provides plentiful sounding profiles over regions lacking conventional observations. The Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI) hybrid system for assimilating RO data is integrated i...
Tropical cyclones (TCs) that landfall over Madagascar and Mozambique can cause flooding that endangers lives. To better understand how environmental conditions affect the rain fields of these TCs, this study utilized spatial metrics to analyze two st...
Based on historical tropical cyclone (TC) tracking data and wind data from observation stations, four comparison experiments were designed that considered TC translation speed similarity and five new ensemble schemes in an improved Dynamical-Statisti...
The distribution of tropospheric moisture in the environment is highly associated with storm development. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the uncertainty of moisture fields from numerical weather prediction (NWP) models for better understandin...
During extreme events such as tropical cyclones, the precision of sensors used to sample the meteorological data is vital to feed weather and climate models for storm path forecasting, quantitative precipitation estimation, and other atmospheric para...

The concept of rapid growth (RG) of tropical cyclones (TCs) in the north Atlantic basin was recently proposed. RG can represent a dangerous change in TC structure because it can rapidly ramp up the TC destructive potential. However, the nature of RG...
Height assignment is an important problem for satellite measurements of atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) that are interpreted as winds by forecast and assimilation systems. Stereo methods assign heights to AMVs from the parallax observed between obs...
Tropical cyclones (TCs) are natural disasters for coastal regions. TCs with maximum wind speeds higher than 32.7 m/s in the north-western Pacific are referred to as typhoons. Typhoons Sarika and Haima successively passed our moored observation array...
