Tropical Cyclones and Associated Impacts: A Global Perspective provides a one-stop-shop for readers interested in the impacts of tropical cyclones, capturing the convergence of knowledge across disciplines and fields. Chapters in this book provide a coherent structure that reflects the hazards associated with these storms (e.g., storm surge, inland flooding and heavy rainfall, damaging winds) and their impacts on many spheres of our lives (e.g., energy, public health). This book is geared towards readers who have an interest in tropical cyclones, with a broad appeal to different audiences ranging from academia to federal and state agencies dealing with these storms.
- Features a multidisciplinary approach to the science and impacts of tropical cyclones
- Includes contributions from leading experts in the fields impacted by tropical cyclones
- Presents case studies to connect the science to practical applications

About the Author
Gabriel Vecchi is Knox Taylor Professor of Geosciences and the High Meadows Environmental Institute at Princeton University. Since July 2021 he has been Director of the High Meadows Environmental Institute. He is also the Deputy Director of the Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System (CIMES), a joint institute between Princeton University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). He is a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and has received several awards including the U.S. Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the AMS’s Clarence Leroy Meisinger Award, and the Ascent Award from the Atmospheric Sciences Section of the American Geophysical Union. His research focuses on understanding short- and long-term changes to the oceans and atmosphere, including the monsoons, El Niño, and the impact of climate on tropical cyclones, weather extremes, and global patterns of rainfall and drought. Prior to coming to Princeton University in 2017, he was a Research Oceanographer and the Head of the Climate Variations and Predictability Group at the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), where he was from 2003.
Enrico Scoccimarro is Senior Scientist at Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC), and Director of the Climate Variability and Prediction division at CMCC. He has 25 years of experience in climate modelling with a special focus on the coupling between the atmosphere and ocean components of General Circulation Models (GCMs). During this period, he has contributed to the development of several GCMs (e.g., INGV-SXG, CMCC-Med, CMCC-CM CMCC-CM2, CMCC-CM3) and has performed a number of climate scenario simulations and projections participating to the different Coupled Model Intercomparison Projects (CMIP3, CMIP5, CMIP6) providing climate data for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Reports. He has been partner in several international projects mainly dealing with high resolution modelling and impacts associated to extreme events. His main research interest is on extreme events such as tropical cyclones with particular focus on their interaction with the climate system.
