Sentences with phrase «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.

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.
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.
«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.

The article provides a solid review of the recent developments in the science focusing on potential climate change impacts on tropical cyclones.
Cyclone Center's primary goal is to resolve discrepancies in the recent global TC record arising principally from inconsistent development of tropical cyclone intensity data.
More specifically, an anomalously large (small) AWP reduces (enhances) the vertical wind shear in the hurricane main development region and increases (decreases) the moist static instability of the troposphere, both of which favor (disfavor) Atlantic tropical cyclone activity.
Could this at some point lead to embedded «tropical cyclone» development within the core of such a system even outside the tropics and perhaps even removed from the ocean if a sufficient stream of moisture is flowing in the atmosphere?
If tropical cyclone occurrence decreases, less of the heat is dissipated, and unless ocean circulation in some way compensates by transporting the additional thermal energy elsewhere (i.e. for example out of the «main development region» of the Atlantic) some day a storm will tap the enhanced energy source.
«Accurate seasonal and decadal predictions of tropical cyclone activity are essential for the development of mitigation strategies for the 2.7 billion residents living within cyclone prone regions.
The development of a new tropical cyclone activity index spanning the last 1500 years has enabled the examination of tropical cyclone climatology at higher temporal resolution than was previously possible.
Earlier today, I posted an article about how — and even if — global warming is currently affecting the formation, development, and strength of tropical cyclones (hurricanes and typhoons).
Using a modern tropical cyclone model (simulating the famous hurricane Andrew of 1992, which was forecast to make landfall around Miami) they find cyclone modification is indeed theoretically capable of reducing hurricane development and storm damage.

Moreover, 370 years of tropical cyclone data from the Lesser Antilles (the eastern Caribbean island chain that bisects the main development region for landfalling U.S. hurricanes) show no long - term trend in either power or frequency but a 50 - to 70 - year wave pattern associated with the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, a mode of natural climate variability.
How much dust and dry air does it take to hamper convection, is there a specific time in the development of the tropical cyclone where the ingest of the dust and dry air is most destructive?
