Increased Tropical Atlantic Wind Shear in Model Projections of Global Warming
Gabriel A. Vecchi,Brian J. Soden +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a suite of state-of-the-art global climate model experiments is used to project changes in vertical wind shear (Vs) over the tropical Atlantic during hurricane season, which has been historically associated with diminished hurricane activity and intensity.

Climatological Changes in the Extratropical Transition of Tropical Cyclones in High-Resolution Global Simulations
TL;DR: Tropical cyclones undergoing extratropical transition (ET) can develop into intense cyclonic systems accompanied by high-impact weather in areas far removed from the original TC as mentioned in this paper.

Response of Extreme Rainfall for Landfalling Tropical Cyclones Undergoing Extratropical Transition to Projected Climate Change: Hurricane Irene (2011).
TL;DR: This study examines the response of TC rainfall to climate change projected under future anthropogenic greenhouse emissions, focusing on Hurricane Irene, which produced severe flooding across the Northeastern United States in August 2011.
Journal ArticleDOI
Historical Variability and Lifecycles of North Atlantic Midlatitude Cyclones Originating in the Tropics
TL;DR: The authors used a Lagrangian feature tracking algorithm to identify tropical cyclones that impacted Northeast North America and Europe in seven global reanalysis datasets, distinguishing systems that retained warm core structures or underwent warm seclusion from those that underwent extratropical transition, acquiring cold core, frontal structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extreme Snow Events along the Coast of the Northeast United States: Potential Changes due to Global Warming
TL;DR: In this article, the authors adopted the pseudo-global warming approach to investigate the responses of 93 extreme snowstorm events identified in previous observational analysis and compared two sets of WRF simulations for each event: the first set driven by the ERA-Interim reanalysis and the second set by that data superimposed with mean-climate changes simulated from HiRAM historical (1980-2004) and future (2075-99; RCP8.5) runs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the characteristics of tropical cyclones have changed or will change in a warming climate and if so, how, has been the subject of considerable investigation, often with conflicting results.

Constraints on future changes in climate and the hydrologic cycle
Myles R. Allen,William Ingram +1 more
TL;DR: It will be substantially harder to quantify the range of possible changes in the hydrologic cycle than in global-mean temperature, both because the observations are less complete and because the physical constraints are weaker.
