, increase North Atlantic hurricane activity, and affect winter rainfall over Europe. In addition, it is likely there would be rapid climate change if SRM were terminated in an uncontrolled manner. Much more research is needed to understand all the potential benefits and drawbacks associated

Advancing tropical cyclone forecasts - WCSSP case study

of cyclones.  What is a tropical cyclone? Tropical cyclones are large rotating storms that form over the tropical oceans. They usually develop when sea surface temperatures are at least 26.5 degrees Celsius and get their extreme energy from warm, moist ocean air. Also known as hurricanes in the North Atlantic

knots Track forecast errors were low and skill scores very high for forecasts for Hurricane Helene. The landfall location was very well predicted. Isaac (10L) 26-30 September 968 mb, 90 knots The first forecast for Isaac was a little fast, but later forecasts had very low track forecast errors

Decadal Forecasting - What is it and what does it tell us?

natural variability and climate change. It has already been demonstrated that skillful multi-year predictions of Atlantic hurricane frequency can be produced (Smith et al. 2010). Much more remains to be done to exploit the regional information in decadal forecasts and indeed in climate predictions

system (known as GloSea) is used to forecast the number of tropical storms (including hurricanes) and Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index for the Atlantic sector in the period July to November 2009. Recent research has shown that the skill of dynamical systems such as GloSea is challenging or even

). A tropical storm is a tropical cyclone with mean wind speeds of at least 39 m.p.h. The terms hurricane and typhoon are region-specific names for strong tropical cyclones with wind speeds of more than 73 m.p.h. The North Atlantic tropical storm season usually runs from June to November. The degree
