Crucial role of subsurface ocean variability in tropical cyclone genesis by Cong Gao, Lei Zhou, I.-I. Lin, Chunzai Wang, Shoude Guan, Fei-Fei Jin, Raghu Murtugudde

“…The 26 °C isothermal depth can fluctuate by tens of meters to significantly modify the upper ocean heat content. Consequently, sea surface temperature anomalies under nascent tropical cyclones are induced, and tropical cyclogenesis is modulated. …”

A Numerical Model to Simulate the Motion of a Lifesaving Module During its Launching from the Ship’S Stern Ramp by Dymarski Paweł, Dymarski Czesław

“…The article presents a numerical model of object motion in six degrees of freedom (DoF) which is intended to be used to simulate 3D motion of a lifesaving module during its launching from a ship using a stern ramp in rough sea. The model, of relatively high complexity, takes into account both the motion of the ship on water in changing sea conditions, and the relative motion of the ramp with respect to the ship.…”

Climatic Background and Prediction of Boreal Winter PM2.5 Concentrations in Hubei Province, China by Yuanyue Huang, Zijun Tang, Zhengxuan Yuan, Qianqian Zhang

“…Near-surface easterlies and an anomalous anticyclonic circulation over Hubei contribute to reduced precipitation, thereby decreasing the dispersion of pollutants and leading to higher PM2.5 concentrations. (2) Significant correlations are observed between DJF-HBPMC and sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in specific oceanic regions, as well as sea-ice concentration (SIC) anomalies near the Antarctic. …”

A Universal Hurricane Frequency Function by Robert Ehrlich

“…Evidence is provided that the global distribution of tropical hurricanes is principally determined by a universal function H of a single variable z that in turn is expressible in terms of the local sea surface temperature and latitude. The data-driven model presented here carries stark implications for the large increased numbers of hurricanes which it predicts for a warmer world. …”

Study on Attribution Analysis and Response of Saltwater Intrusion in Modaomen Waterway During Dry Seasons by HUANG Chunhua, LIN Zhongyuan, ZOU Huazhi, HUANG Pengfei, XU Wei

“…Under the influence of climate change and human activities, the saltwater intrusion in the Modaomen Estuary Waterway has intensified significantly,which has greatly threatened the safety of the water supply in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.Based on the daily exceedance time data of seven stations in the Modaomen Waterway,daily maximum tidal range,volume of runoff, mean sea level,cross-shore wind,and alongshore wind from 2004 to 2016,empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis and univariate and multiple linear regression analysis were carried out to reveal the response relationship between the saltwater intrusion and the impact factors and quantify the contribution of each impact factor.The results show that the maximum contribution to the saltwater intrusion is the tidal range,followed by the volume of runoff, which can explain 30% and 28% of the diurnal variation of the exceedance time, respectively.The contribution of wind to the saltwater intrusion is slightly greater than that of the mean sea level,and the contribution of wind and mean sea level to the saltwater intrusion is 12% and 11%,respectively.The effect of cross-shore wind is slightly greater than that of alongshore wind.The peak of Modaomen saltwater intrusion appears in 3.2 days after the minimum tidal range,and the salinity of Modaomen Waterway is not suppressed until 1.8 days after the increase in the volume of runoff of Gaoyao station.This paper can provide theoretical support for watershed scheduling and saltwater intrusion forecast.…”
