Abstract: Tropical cyclone (TC) lifetime maximum intensity exhibits a distinct bimodal distribution, with peaks at tropical storm and major hurricane strength. Using a best‐track‐based algorithm to identify eyewall replacement cycle (ERC) storms, we show that ERC… read more here.

Abstract: This study investigates long-term changes in the variability of TC intensity of global tropical cyclones, a topic which has been relatively infrequently studied to date. Our study finds that the variability of global TC lifetime… read more here.
