Tropical Cyclones Intensify Global Energy and Water Cycle Interactions
• Tropical cyclones increasingly influence extreme rainfall and surge hazards, particularly in coastal US regions.
• Interaction between tropical cyclones and the ocean can trigger meteotsunamis, causing coastal flooding and erosion.
• Changes in hurricane energy budgets since the 1970s affect their intensity and climatic impacts, requiring improved weather prediction models.
