Secular Fluctuations in Vulnerability to Tropical Cyclones in and off New England
نویسنده
چکیده
Paths assumed by tropical cyclones in different fall seasons are related to the form of the prevailing mid-tropospheric general circulation. It is inferred that areas of vulnerability or invulnerability to these storms seem to be prescribed by the climatologically preferred circulation pattern during a given year, and for this reason expanded research along these lines could be highly rewarding. There is some indication that since the mid-thirties general circulation patterns have made east coast areas more vulnerable than during earlier years of the century.

This paper examines future economic damages from tropical cyclones under a range of assumptions about societal change, climate change and the relationship of climate change to damage in 2050. It finds in all cases that efforts to reduce vulnerability to losses, often called climate adaptation, have far greater potential effectiveness to reduce damage related to tropical cyclones than efforts to...

In this paper the numerical simulation of flow field in the new design dynamic cyclone separator is investigated. The effects of different geometrical parameters such as impeller diameter, number of vanes, length and the location of impeller is investigated. The Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations with Reynolds stress turbulence model (RSM) were solved. The Eulerian-Lagrangian computation...

issues of science and politics. Because of their significant and visceral impacts, discussion of extreme events is a frequent locus of such conflation. Linda Mearns, of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), aptly characterizes this context: “There’s a push on climatologists to say something about extremes, because they are so important. But that can be very dangerous if we really...
