About this Research Topic
This Research Topic will focus on the “state of the science” in:
- Coupled modeling and data assimilation configurations/experiments (including operational observation and forecast systems) to help predict extreme weather events (e.g. Tropical Cyclones).
- Observing technology development and/or field studies to fill critical gaps for potential observations and their impact on Tropical Cyclone intensity forecasts;
- Current efforts with extreme event applications to improve predictions via better understanding of air-sea interface physics.
- Role of ocean warming and marine heatwaves: Our current understanding and pathways to coupled modeling including rapid co-evolution of the ocean and atmosphere under the influence of extreme weather events.
Keywords: Extreme Weather, Tropical Cyclones, Modelling, Ocean Observation
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
