Growing Threat of Rapidly-Intensifying Tropical Cyclones in East Asia

Kin Sik Liu et al.

Summary: This study examines the long-term change in the threat of landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs) in East Asia over the period 1975-2020 with a focus on rapidly intensifying (RI) TCs. The increase in the annual number of RI-TCs over the western North Pacific and the northwestward shift of their genesis location lead to an increasing trend in the annual number of landfalling RI-TCs along the coast of East Asia. The annual power dissipation index (PDI), a measure of the destructive potential of RI-TCs at landfall, also shows a significant increasing trend due to increases in the annual frequency and mean landfall intensity of landfalling RI-TCs. The increase in mean landfall intensity is related to a higher lifetime maximum intensity (LMI) and the LMI location of the landfalling RI-TCs being closer to the coast. The increase in the annual PDI of East Asia is mainly associated with landfalling TCs in the southern (the Philippines, South China, and Vietnam) and northern parts (Japan and the Korean Peninsula) of East Asia due to long-term changes in vertical wind shear and TC heat potential. The former leads to a northwestward shift of favorable environments for TC genesis and intensification, resulting in the northwestward shift in the genesis, RI, and LMI locations of RI-TCs. The latter provides more heat energy from the ocean for TC intensification, increasing its chances to undergo RI.

Contribution of Dissipative Heating to the Intensity Dependence of Tropical Cyclone Intensification

Yuqing Wang et al.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that dissipative heating (DH) contributes to the maximum potential intensity (MPI) of tropical cyclones (TCs). This study investigates the influence of DH on the intensity dependence of TC potential intensification rate (PIR) and finds that including DH in the time-dependent theory of TC intensification leads to a shift in the maximum PIR towards higher intensities. This implies that as the climate warms, TCs may intensify more rapidly.

Climate control of tropical cyclone rapid intensification frequency in the north indian ocean

Han Wang et al.

Summary: Rapid intensification is crucial for very severe cyclonic storms in the North Indian Ocean. The number of these storms is strongly correlated with the occurrence of rapid intensification events before and after the monsoon seasons in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. Sea surface temperature and the number of rapid intensification events were analyzed using singular value decomposition. The results show that increased sea surface temperature leads to increased rapid intensification events in the Arabian Sea and reduced events in the Bay of Bengal after the monsoon season. Decreased vertical wind shear is the primary factor for increased rapid intensification before the monsoon season, while decreased absolute vorticity and relative humidity contribute to reduced events after the monsoon season in the Bay of Bengal.

Declining tropical cyclone frequency under global warming

Savin S. Chand et al.

Summary: Using reconstructed long-term proxy data and high-resolution climate model experiments, this study finds robust declining trends in the annual number of tropical cyclones (TCs) at global and regional scales during the twentieth century. These declining trends are consistent with the weakening of the Hadley and Walker circulations during the same period.

Increasing Hurricane Intensification Rate Near the US Atlantic Coast

Karthik Balaguru et al.

Summary: This study uses observations and climate model simulations to explore the changes in hurricane intensification near the US Atlantic coast. The results show that there has been an increase in the mean hurricane intensification rate over the past 40 years along the Atlantic coast, while no significant change occurred near the Gulf coast. Climate models suggest that the storm environment and hurricane intensification near the Atlantic coast will continue to enhance in the future.

Revisiting the Definition of Rapid Intensification of Tropical Cyclones by Clustering the Initial Intensity and Inner-Core Size

Yi Li et al.

Summary: Rapid intensification of tropical cyclones is a significant challenge for forecasting and research. We propose a new definition for rapid intensification based on clustering methods. The new threshold outperforms the conventional threshold in describing intensity distribution and explaining the annual count of Category 5 cyclones.

Potential Role of Irreversible Moist Processes in Modulating Tropical Cyclone Surface Wind Structure

Danyang Wang et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the compactness of tropical cyclone wind structure is influenced by thermodynamic efficiency, Carnot efficiency, and system irreversibility. Irreversible entropy production processes play a crucial role in modulating the cyclone surface wind field. With warming climate, cyclones are expected to become more compact due to increased water content.

Strongly Coupled Assimilation of a Hypothetical Ocean Current Observing Network within a Regional Ocean-Atmosphere Coupled Model: An OSSE Case Study of Typhoon Hato

Luke Phillipson et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the impact of strongly coupled data assimilation using hypothetical ocean currents on the analysis and forecasts of Typhoon Hato. By assimilating ocean current observations, significant improvements in track and intensity analysis of the typhoon were achieved, resulting in reduced errors in minimum pressure and maximum wind speed. This suggests the considerable potential of assimilating ocean currents from coastal HF radar and surface drifters within a strongly coupled framework for intense landfalling tropical cyclones.

Recent migration of tropical cyclones toward coasts

Shuai Wang et al.

Summary: Research indicates a significant migration of tropical cyclone activity towards coasts, along with a poleward migration and statistically significant westward shift of cyclone locations, likely driven by global zonal changes in environmental steering flow.

Summary: The study finds that the recorded century-scale increase in Atlantic hurricane frequency is mainly due to changes in observing practices, and recent increases are not part of a century-scale trend.

Summary: The rapid intensification phenomenon of CAT 4-5 hurricanes has significant impacts on global climate. The number of tropical cyclone rapid intensification events provides a useful indicator of the activity level of intense hurricanes globally, and climate variability plays a crucial role in modulating this phenomenon.
