Analysis of African Easterly Wave Structures and Their Role in Influencing Tropical Cyclogenesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Composite structures of African easterly waves (AEWs) that develop into named tropical cyclones in the Atlantic are compared and contrasted with nondeveloping AEWs using the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40) data and satellite ...
West African Storm Tracks and Their Relationship to Atlantic Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The automatic tracking technique used by Thorncroft and Hodges has been used to identify coherent vorticity structures at 850 hPa over West Africa and the tropical Atlantic in the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis. The presence of ...
An Estimate of Increases in Storm Surge Risk to Property from Sea Level Rise in the First Half of the Twenty-First Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sea level is rising as the World Ocean warms and ice caps and glaciers melt. Published estimates based on data from satellite altimeters, beginning in late 1992, suggest that the global mean sea level has been rising on ...
