"Introduction to Tropical Meteorology". This textbook is being developed over time and its chapters
are being published incrementally. This is the third chapter in the book to publish. The new content covers:
- Global distribution and monitoring of tropical cyclones, - Three-dimensional structure and flow balances,
- Tropical cyclogenesis, -
Intensity, including potential intensity, environmental factors,
and more.
new "The COMET Program is pleased to announce the publication of "North Wall Effects on Winds and
Waves". A three-hour module that explores the high wind and wave events that occur along the north edge
of warm, fast, western boundary currents, such as the Gulf Stream off the mid-Atlantic states of the U.S.
and the Kuroshio Current near Japan and Taiwan. Using three different case studies, this module explores
the relationships between atmospheric stability, winds, waves, and ocean currents during North Wall events.
