Sentences with phrase «cyclone development»

«Our results show that a greening of the Sahara with reduced dust loadings lead to more favorable conditions for tropical cyclone development,» says Francesco S.R. Pausata, researcher at the Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University.

An increase in the width of the tropics could increase the area affected by tropical storms (hurricanes), or could change climatological tropical cyclone development regions and tracks.

[UPDATE (Nov. 12, 2013 at 20:30 UTC): The conclusion I draw below — that the signature of global warming is too weak to see in current cyclone development — is not correct.

Rapid extratropical cyclone development, called explosive cyclogenesis, is often associated with major winter storms and occurs when surface pressure falls by more than about 24 millibars per day.

Examining the role of Greenland and the surrounding area on cyclone development and poleward heat and moisture transports

When El Niño conditions are present in the equatorial Pacific like in 2015, tropical cyclone activity across the North Atlantic basin tends to be suppressed due to increased wind shear, an unfavorable condition for tropical cyclone development.

Scientists are working to understand the large - scale climatic conditions responsible for the observed changes in the various environmental parameters controlling tropical cyclone development.

It is well known that El Nino events, such as the 2006 El Nino, tend to be associated with stronger westerly winds aloft in the tropical Atlantic, which is unfavorable for tropical cyclone development.

This underestimation of the strength and coherence of convection and wind variability at MJO temporal and spatial scales means that contemporary climate models still simulate poorly many of the important climatic effects of the MJO (e.g., its impact on rainfall variability in the monsoons or the modulation of tropical cyclone development).

Trends are also apparent in SST, a critical variable known to influence tropical cyclone development (see Figure TS.11).

As Landsea and other tropical skeptics are fond of pointing out, SST is a necessary condition for cyclone development, but it is hardly sufficient.
