DOI: 10.1002/2016gl071277
Abstract: Winter 2013/14 was the stormiest on record for the UK and was characterized by recurrent clustering of extratropical cyclones. This clustering was associated with a strong, straight and persistent North Atlantic jet and was also… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wace.2021.100342
Abstract: Abstract Extratropical cyclones and their associated extreme precipitation and winds can have a severe impact on society and the co-occurrence between the two extremes is important when assessing risk. In this study the extremal dependency… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/bams-d-16-0261.1
Abstract: AbstractFor nearly a century, the study of atmospheric dynamics in the midlatitudes has presented dichotomic perspectives on one of its focal points: the birth and life cycle of cyclones. In particular, the role of fronts… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jamc-d-20-0190.1
Abstract: Latent and sensible heat fluxes over the oceans are believed to play an important role in the genesis and evolution of marine-based extratropical cyclones (ETCs) and affect rapid cyclogenesis. Observations of ocean surface heat fluxes… read more here.
