The poleward migration of the location of tropical cyclone maximum intensity by Kossin, James P., Vecchi, Gabriel A., Emanuel, Kerry Andrew

“…Temporally inconsistent and potentially unreliable global historical data hinder the detection of trends in tropical cyclone activity. This limits our confidence in evaluating proposed linkages between observed trends in tropical cyclones and in the environment. …”

The Interannual Variability of Tropical Precipitation and Interhemispheric Energy Transport by Donohoe, Aaron, Ferreira, David, Armour, Kyle, Marshall, John C, McGee, William David

“…The interannual variability of AHTEQ in the model is associated with a hemispheric asymmetry in the top of the atmosphere radiative anomalies in the tropics with the Northern Hemisphere gaining energy when the ITCZ is displaced northward. …”

Are Special Processes at Work in the Rapid Intensification of Tropical Cyclones? by Kowch, Roman, Emanuel, Kerry Andrew

“…Frequency distributions of intensification and dissipation developed from synthetic open-ocean tropical cyclone data show no evidence of significant departures from exponential distributions, though there is some evidence for a fat tail of dissipation rates. …”

Key considerations in the modeling of tropical maritime microwave attenuations by Lee, Yee Hui, Meng, Yu Song

“…The summarized information is based on a series of measurement campaigns which were recently carried out in the tropical maritime environments near Singapore. Multiray propagations and ducting of radio waves have been highlighted and considered in over-sea path loss modeling and prediction. …”

Sustainable wind turbine design for tropical wind conditions by Sundar, Dhivya

“…One of the greatest challenges in designing wind turbines for low speed wind regions is surviving the sudden and excessive loads caused by tropical cyclones and typhoons in these areas. The severe turbulence and the abrupt change in the wind velocities leads to large responses in terms of rotor thrust and generator torque due to the blade pitch angle error in the conventional pitching systems used for load alleviation. …”

Butyrate can support PAOs but not GAOs in tropical climates by Wang, Li, Liu, Jianbo, Oehmen, Adrian, Le, Chencheng, Geng, Yikun, Zhou, Yan

“…The results of this study demonstrate that butyrate, as a supplemental or sole carbon source, could be promising for EBPR in tropical climates. When the carbon source was gradually changed from acetate to butyrate, a substantial PAO population was found under both conditions, despite a substantial shift in the abundance of Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis (decreased from 37.4% to 13.9%) to Rhodocyclaceae (increased from 2.0% to 14.5%), where both organisms likely played an important role in P-removal. …”
