Trade-off between intensity and frequency of global tropical cyclones

We calculate an average increase in global tropical cyclone intensity of 1.3 m s−1 over the past 30 years of ocean warming occurring at the expense of 6.1 tropical cyclones worldwide. Tropical cyclones (TCs) are perhaps the least welcomed natural phenomena on our planet. Even well-dev ...

How do drought events impact the ecosystem carbon balance?
... One well known ecosystem is the forest, which cover 30% of the world’s land surface (Allen et al., 2009). They are expected to exhibit large effects of climate extremes, due to their large carbon pools and fluxes, above- and underground. But the impacts depend in large part on the nature of the drou ...
