of tropical cyclone vortices. The focus is on the dynamics and moist thermodynamics of …

Tropical cyclone climatology change greatly exacerbates US extreme rainfall–surge hazard

A Gori, N Lin, D Xi, K Emanuel - Nature Climate Change, 2022 - nature.com
Tropical cyclones (TCs) are drivers of extreme rainfall and surge, but the current and future
TC rainfall–surge joint hazard has not been well quantified. Using a physics-based …

Climate change exacerbates hurricane flood hazards along US Atlantic and Gulf Coasts in spatially varying patterns

R Marsooli, N Lin, K Emanuel, K Feng - Nature communications, 2019 - nature.com
One of the most destructive natural hazards, tropical cyclone (TC)–induced coastal flooding,
will worsen under climate change. Here we conduct climatology–hydrodynamic modeling to …

Increasing sequential tropical cyclone hazards along the US East and Gulf coasts

D Xi, N Lin, A Gori - Nature Climate Change, 2023 - nature.com
Two tropical cyclones (TCs) that make landfall close together can induce sequential hazards
to coastal areas. Here we investigate the change in sequential TC hazards in the historical …
