Tropical Cyclones and Associated Impacts
Urban environment and RSV
Substantial neighbourhood-level differences in RSV SARI incidence exist in a large European metropolis. These differences are associated with the urban environment such as particulate pollution. The use of spectral indices shows promise in identifying vulnerable populations within cities to guide public health measures and to integrate public health and urban planning
Attribution of the impacts of the 2008 flooding in Cedar Rapids (Iowa) to anthropogenic forcing
The City of Cedar Rapids was significantly affected by the June 2008 flood. However, little is known about the role anthropogenic warming during this event, not only in terms of hydrologic response but also of impacts. Here we use a continuous distributed hydrologic model forced with precipitation with and without external forcing and show that the impacts of this flood were likely magnified because of increased anthropogenic warming; compared to…
Cold waves are getting milder in the northern midlatitudes
The strong two-day cold wave in the midwestern United States in January 2019 again ignited the discussion as to whether cold waves are getting more severe or not as a result of Arctic amplification due to climate change. Assessing the evolution of cold waves in the northern hemisphere midlatitudes in the observations has been difficult because the variability of cold waves is large compared to anthropogenic warming. In order to detect changes in …
Urbanization exacerbated the rainfall and flooding caused by hurricane Harvey in Houston
Attribution of extreme rainfall from Hurricane Harvey, August 2017
During August 25-30, 2017, Hurricane Harvey stalled over Texas and caused extreme precipitation, particularly over Houston and the surrounding area on August 26-28. This resulted in extensive flooding with over 80 fatalities and large economic costs. It was an extremely rare event: the return period of the highest observed three-day precipitation amount, 1043.4 mm 3dy -1 at Baytown, is more than 9000 years (97.5% one-sided confidence interval) an…
Modeled Impact of Anthropogenic Warming on the Frequency of Intense Atlantic Hurricanes
Stormy Weather One of the most active questions about the effects of global warming is whether, and how, it might affect the frequency and the strength of hurricanes. Some studies have suggested that warming will bring fewer, and less energetic, hurricanes, while others have claimed that we can expect more intense storms. Bender et al. (p. 454 ; see the news story by Kerr ) explore the influence of global warming on hurricane dynamics over the At…
El Niño and our future climate
El Niño and La Niña comprise the dominant mode of tropical climate variability: the El Niño and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. ENSO variations influence climate, ecosystems, and societies around the globe. It is, therefore, of great interest to understand the character of past and future ENSO variations. In this brief review, we explore our current understanding of these issues. The amplitude and character of ENSO have been observed to e…
Model Projections of an Imminent Transition to a More Arid Climate in Southwestern North America
How anthropogenic climate change will affect hydroclimate in the arid regions of southwestern North America has implications for the allocation of water resources and the course of regional development. Here we show that there is a broad consensus among climate models that this region will dry in the 21st century and that the transition to a more arid climate should already be under way. If these models are correct, the levels of aridity of the r…
