Abstract A 45-yr climatology of subtropical cyclones (ST) for the North Atlantic is presented and analyzed. The STs pose a warm-season forecasting problem for subtropical locations such as Bermuda and the southern United States because of the potentially rapid onset of gale-force winds close to land. Criteria for identification of ST have been developed based on an accompanying case-study analysis. These criteria are applied here to the 40-yr European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts… Expand

Atlantic Subtropical Storms. Part I: Diagnostic Criteria and Composite Analysis
Abstract Subtropical cyclones (ST) have only recently gained attention as damaging weather systems. A set of criteria for identifying and classifying these systems is introduced here and employed to… Expand
A Climatology of Subtropical Cyclones in the South Atlantic
AbstractA 50-yr climatology (1957–2007) of subtropical cyclones (STs) in the South Atlantic is developed and analyzed. A subtropical cyclone is a hybrid structure (upper-level cold core and… Expand
Key Features and Adverse Weather of the Named Subtropical Cyclones over the Southwestern South Atlantic Ocean
This work documents the main features of six subtropical cyclones occurred between the years 2010 and 2016 over the southwestern South Atlantic Ocean, near the Brazilian coast, which received names… Expand
Subtropical Cyclones over the Southwestern South Atlantic: Climatological Aspects and Case Study
AbstractHurricane Catarina (2004) and subtropical storm Anita (2010) called attention to the development of subtropical cyclones (SCs) over the South Atlantic basin. Besides strong and organized… Expand
Classification and Synoptic Analysis of Subtropical Cyclones within the Northeastern Atlantic Ocean
AbstractSince more research is needed on subtropical cyclones (STCs) formed within the North Atlantic eastern basin, this survey analyzes them from a synoptic point of view, on a climatological… Expand
Forecasting Challenges Associated with Tropical Cyclones within Subtropical Gyres
AbstractThis case study examines the complex history of a tropical storm that formed southeast of a large subtropical gyre. In real time the tropical storm was incorrectly identified as being two… Expand
A Dynamically Based Climatology of Subtropical Cyclones that Undergo Tropical Transition in the North Atlantic Basin
AbstractSubtropical cyclones (STCs) derive a considerable portion of their energy from baroclinic and diabatic processes. The opportunity to investigate the roles of baroclinic and diabatic processes… Expand
Tropical Cyclone Formation in Environments with Cool SST and High Wind Shear over the Northeastern Atlantic Ocean
AbstractTropical cyclones with nontropical characteristics are being identified more frequently over the North Atlantic Ocean in recent years. These systems present forecasting challenges because of… Expand
A physically-based climatology of Australian east coast lows occurrence and intensification
The subtropical part of the eastern Australian seaboard experiences intense cyclonic activity. The severe damage caused by the intense storms in the region, known as east coast lows (ECLs), has… Expand
Climatology and numerical case study of moisture sources associated with subtropical cyclogenesis over the southwestern Atlantic Ocean
An important feature during cyclogenesis is the availability of moisture to fuel the associated convective activity providing faster developments and more intense systems. In this work, an… Expand
