Understanding uncertainties in projections of western North Pacific tropical cyclogenesis
Reliable projections of tropical cyclone (TC) activities in the western North Pacific (WNP) are crucial for climate policy-making in densely-populated coastal Asia. Existing projections, however, exhibit considerable uncertainties with unclear sources. Here, based on future projections by the latest Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 climate models, we identify a new and prevailing source of uncertainty arising from different TC identi…

Development of on‐road emission inventory and evaluation of policy intervention on future emission reduction toward sustainability in Vietnam
This study developed updated emission inventories for 2010, 2015, and 2019 base‐year for road transportation in Vietnam with future projections for 2020, 2025, and 2030. In general (2019 base‐year), motorcycles contributed a substantial CO, NMVOC, PM 10 , PM 2.5 , OC, and CH 4 (~53%–89%), while BC, NOx, and SO 2 were mostly from diesel‐powered trucks (~42%–76.3%). The countrywide emission contributions from two rapidly growing cities (Hanoi and H…
Tropical Cyclones and Climate Change Assessment
Model projections of tropical cyclone (TC) activity response to anthropogenic warming in climate models are assessed. Observations, theory, and models, with increasing robustness, indicate rising global TC risk for some metrics that are projected to impact multiple regions. A 2°C anthropogenic global warming is projected to impact TC activity as follows. 1) The most confident TC-related projection is that sea level rise accompanying the warming w…
Major factors of global and regional monsoon rainfall changes
A number of studies have investigated the mechanisms that determine changes in precipitation, including how a wet region gets wetter. However, not all monsoon areas get wetter—there is a need to understand the major factors behind changes in regional monsoon precipitation, in terms of external forcing and internal variabilities in the last six decades by a combination of different observed datasets and model runs. We have found that time of emerg…

Reply to Comment on ‘Roles of interbasin frequency changes in the poleward shifts of maximum intensity location of tropical cyclones’
Recently a pronounced global poleward shift in the latitude at which the maximum intensities of tropical cyclones (TC) occur has been identified. Moon et al (2015 Environ. Res. Lett. 10 104004) reported that the poleward migration is significantly influenced by changes in interbasin frequency. These frequency changes are a larger contributor to the poleward shift than the intrabasin migration component. The strong role of interbasin frequency cha…
Roles of interbasin frequency changes in the poleward shifts of the maximum intensity location of tropical cyclones
An observed poleward migration in the average latitude at which tropical cyclones (TCs) achieved their lifetime-maximum intensities (LMIs) was previously explained by changes in the mean meridional environments favorable to storm development linked to tropical expansion and anthropogenic warming. We show that the poleward migration is greatly influenced by basin-to-basin changes in TC frequency associated with multi-decadal variability, particula…
