The Climatological Relationship Between United States Tornadoes and Extratropical Cyclones
Lauren Kiefer, Daniel Chavas, Michelle Gore +1
Tornadoes have caused billions of dollars in damage and are one of the leading causes of weather-related deaths in the United States each year. Tornadoes are known to frequently fo…
Tropical cyclone genesis potential using a ventilated potential intensity
Daniel R Chavas, Suzana J Camargo, Michael K Tippett
Genesis potential indices (GPIs) are widely used to understand the climatology of tropical cyclones (TCs). However, the sign of projected future changes depends on how they incorpo…
An analytical model for tropical cyclone outer-size expansion on the f-plane
Danyang Wang, Dan Chavas
Tropical cyclones are known to expand to an equilibrium size on the -plane, but the expansion process is not understood. In this study, an analytical model for tropical cyclone…
Future changes in the vertical structure of severe convective storm environments over the U.S. central Great Plains
Isaac Davis, Funing Li, Daniel Chavas
The effect of warming on severe convective storm potential is commonly explained in terms of changes in vertically-integrated ("bulk") environmental parameters, such as CAPE and 0-…
The persistence of a tropical cyclone seed vortex depends on its structure
Kuan-Yu Lu, Daniel R. Chavas, Danyang Wang
Tropical cyclones (TC) are often generated from pre-existing ``seed" vortices. Seeds with higher persistence might have a higher chance to undergo TC genesis. What controls seed pe…
Can Existing Theory Predict the Response of Tropical Cyclone Intensity to Idealized Landfall?
Jie Chen, Daniel R. Chavas
Tropical cyclones cause significant inland hazards, including wind damage and freshwater flooding, that depend strongly on how storm intensity evolves at and after landfall. Existi…
