TL;DR: In this paper, an objective feature tracking algorithm is used to locate cyclones and the precipitation associated with these cyclones is quantified to establish their contribution to total precipitation, and the most intensely precipitating 10% of storms contribute over 20% of total storm associated precipitation in DJF whereas they provide less than 15% of this total in JJA.

TL;DR: In this paper, targeted albedo corrections are applied in the Southern Ocean to explore the dynamical response to artificially reducing these biases, but no improvement is observed in the double ITCZ bias or atmospheric cross-equatorial energy transport, a finding which supports other recent work.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified the impact on winter Mediterranean precipitation due to changes in extratropical cyclones in 17 CMIP5 climate models and showed that the projected Mediterranean precipitation reduction in winter is strongly related to a decrease in the number of Mediterranean cyclones.

TL;DR: In this article, the average structure and evolution of 20 years of extratropical cyclones, as opposed to individual case studies, are presented. But the authors do not provide a detailed analysis of the cyclone evolution.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the effects of both single-hemisphere and global SAI scenarios on North Atlantic tropical cyclone activity using the HadGEM2-ES general circulation model and various TC identification methods.
