Warmer temperatures lead to wetter tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic

Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) and their post-tropical (PTC) counterparts respond differently to surface warming, reflecting distinct thermodynamic and dynamical controls on storm structure and heavy precipitation. To quantify these responses, we developed a dynamically derived wind-based radius (...
