RISAs the Wind Blows? Understanding Hurricane Damages at the Local Level through a Case Study Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n understanding of the potential drivers of local-scale hurricane losses is developed through a case study analysis. Two recent category-3 U.S. landfalling hurricanes (Ivan in 2004 and Dennis in 2005) are analyzed that, ...
Toward the Application of Decadal Climate Predictions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDecadal prediction is a relatively new branch of climate science that bridges the gap between seasonal climate forecasts and multidecadal-to-century projections of climate change. This paper develops a three-step ...

Relationship between Residential Losses and Hurricane Winds: Role of the Florida Building Code
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effectiveness of the Florida Building Code (FBC) against the impacts of wind speed, duration of strong winds, and wind directional change is quantified. For seven historical hurricanes that impacted Florida during 24 ...
Importance of Midlevel Moisture for Tropical Cyclone Formation in Easterly and Monsoon Environments over the Western North Pacific

Evaluation of the Advanced Hurricane WRF Data Assimilation System for the 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eal-time analyses and forecasts using an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) and the Advanced Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting Model (AHW) are evaluated from the 2009 North Atlantic hurricane season. This data assimilation ...
Large-Scale Environmental Influences on Tropical Cyclone Formation Processes and Development Time
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The development of tropical cloud clusters (TCCs) to tropical cyclones (TCs) is the process of TC formation. This study identifies five main environmental transitions for the development of TCCs to TCs in the western North ...
Tropical Cloud Cluster Environments and Their Importance for Tropical Cyclone Formation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study uses a nonhierarchical cluster analysis to identify the major environmental circulation patterns associated with tropical cloud cluster (TCC) formation in the western North Pacific. All TCCs that formed ...
Importance of Regional Climate Model Grid Spacing for the Simulation of Heavy Precipitation in the Colorado Headwaters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ummer and winter daily heavy precipitation events (events above the 97.5th percentile) are analyzed in regional climate simulations with 36-, 12-, and 4-km horizontal grid spacing over the headwaters of the Colorado River. ...
