Understanding overland activities of post-landfall tropical cyclones
Understanding the behaviour of post-landfall tropical cyclones is crucial for assessing the impacts of climate change on extreme weather events.
Description:
This project aims to uncover the characteristics of post-landfall tropical cyclones, focusing on overland duration and occurrence in historical and potential future warming climates. By testing various TC track algorithms and generating modelled TC extended track datasets from CMIP6 models, we will analyse post-landfall TC activities using observed and modelled tracks. Through evaluating model performance against observed data and conducting sensitivity analyses to future climate scenarios, this research will enhance our understanding of TC behaviour, improving climate projections and risk assessments.
