A new study supported by CVP discovers a link between the MJO and tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic Ocean, showing that more tropical cyclones occur during periods of the MJO cycle that are more slow-moving.

A recent study with contributions from both COM- and MAPP- supported researchers improves the representation of tropical cyclone formation and longer term projection in global climate models.
The study, published in the Journal of Weather and Climate Extremes, found that the use of ensemble-based flood forecasting systems are more advanced than single forecasting systems, as they provide better information that can be used in emergency management decision making in the event of a disaster.
A new CVP-supported study uses a Weather Research and Forecasting model of Super Typhoon Yutu to improve the understanding of the process of rapid intensification within tropical cyclones.
A new review paper describes how MAPP-funded and organized work has contributed to recent progress in understanding tropical cyclones.
Research led by MAPP supported PI, Dr. Suzana Camargo, examined the impact of volcanic aerosols on recent global tropical cyclone activity in observations, reanalysis, and models (including the CMIP5 multi-model).
