Feeding a Cyclone’s Growth

In recent years, rapidly intensifying hurricanes and tropical cyclones have caught forecasters off-guard. A new study suggests that sea surface temperature gradients (SSTGs) may provide a clue before storms intensify. By studying years of sea surface temperature measurements from satellites, the authors found that weak SSTGs preceded a storm’s rapid intensification.

Tropical storms use warm ocean water as their energy source, but a storm’s winds churn the ocean, pulling up colder water that acts like a brake on a storm’s growth. If the water beneath the storm doesn’t cool off, however, that lingering warmth simply adds fuel to the storm’s fire.

The authors found that the sea surface temperatures around where a storm forms also play a role here. If the forming storm has cooler waters in the regions around it, there’s less energy to intensify the storm. If the surrounding waters are about as warm as where the storm is, though, it’s a recipe for the opposite: rapid intensification.

Unfortunately, the authors also found that sea surface temperature gradients have weakened by about 10% per decade since 1993. Those weakening SSTGs mean that we can expect more intensifying storms to come. (Image credit: M. Garrison/NASA; research credit: H. Liu et al.; via Gizmodo)

⚡ NEW: Climate scientists Andrew Dowdy and Jason Evans in #Australia tracked how rising #heat fuels dry strikes and massive fire #clouds.

When brush fires burn hot enough, the rising smoke and moisture can form towering stormheads that spit new bolts far ahead of the blaze. It shows how extreme fires actually build their own destructive #weather systems.
