Tropical Cyclones in a Warming World

Tropical cyclones represent one of the most powerful and destructive natural phenomena on Earth, and their behaviors are increasingly influenced by climate change. The warming of our planet's oceans and atmosphere has significant implications for the formation, intensity, and behaviors of tropical cyclones. Understanding these interactions is crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate the impacts of these extreme weather events on vulnerable coastal communities and ecosystems.
This Collection aims to address the complex dynamics between tropical cyclones and climate change, exploring how these interactions shape the characteristics and behaviors of tropical cyclones in a warming world.
We welcome Original Research articles as well as Reviews and Perspectives spanning an array of topics, including but not limited to:
- Impacts of warming sea surface temperatures on the formation and intensity of tropical cyclones.
- Changes in atmospheric circulation patterns and their impacts on the behaviors of tropical cyclones.
- Numerical advances in prediction and forecasting of tropical cyclones.
- Impacts of climate change on tropical-cyclone-related hazards, e.g., storm surges, heavy rainfall, and coastal flooding.
- Regional variations in the response of tropical cyclones to climate change, including differences in spatial scales and basin-specific characteristics.
- Interactions between tropical cyclones and other climate events, e.g., El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO).
- Socioeconomic and environmental impacts of tropical cyclones on vulnerability assessments and adaptation strategies.
