Comparing the Spatial Patterns of Rainfall and Atmospheric Moisture among Tropical Cyclones Having a Track Similar to Hurricane Irene (2011)
Irene was the most destructive tropical cyclone (TC) of the 2011 Atlantic hurricane season due to flooding from rainfall. This study used a Geographic Information System to identify TCs with similar tracks and examine the spatial attributes of their rainfall patterns. Storm-total rainfall was calculated from the Unified Precipitation Dataset for 11 post-1948 storms and statistics corresponding ...
متن کاملRainfall distribution of five landfalling tropical cyclones in the northwestern Australian region
Rain gauge data, satellite IR brightness temperature and radar-estimated rain rate for five tropical cyclones from the 2005–06 to 2009–10 seasons that made landfall along the northwestern coast of Australia are analysed. It is the first time that the spatial rainfall distribution of landfalling tropical cyclones in the southern hemisphere has been systematically investigated. It is found that t...
متن کاملExtreme Hurricane Winds in the United States
Coastal hurricanes create tremendous environmental change and generate huge financial losses. The relative infrequency of severe coastal hurricanes implies that empirical probability estimates of the next big catastrophe will be unreliable. Here we model hurricane activity and resulting insured losses using extreme value theory and Bayesian models. The occurrence of a hurricane above a specifie...

متن کاملClimate change. Can we detect trends in extreme tropical cyclones?
process may not have been so smooth as initially thought, and numerical simulations performed by Tsiganis et al. (4) show that the passage of Jupiter and Saturn through a 2:1 resonance may have ignited a period of strong chaotic evolution of Uranus and Neptune. In this scenario, the two planets had frequent close encounters and may even have exchanged orbits before their eccentricities finally ...
