DOI: 10.1029/2025gl115334
Abstract: Tropical cyclone (TC) rapid intensification (RI) is a major source of uncertainty in TC prediction. Here we examine observed basin‐specific relationships between RI and El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO), where RI is defined as a TC… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/mwr-d-18-0370.1
Abstract: Interactions between the upper-level outflow of a sheared, rapidly intensifying tropical cyclone (TC) and the background environmental flow in an idealized model are presented. The most important finding is that the divergent outflow from convection… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/waf-d-24-0228.1
Abstract: Imperfectness of the state-of-the-art intensity forecasting of tropical cyclones (TCs) necessitates independent rapid intensification (RI) prediction schemes. Here we report one derived with an explainable artificial intelligence Wide Learning (WL). The scheme, named Wide Learning-based… read more here.
