New cards

Anticyclone Characteristics

  • motion: ~0-few 100 km/day

  • pressure gradient: ~<10hPa/1000km

New cards

Tropical Cyclone Characteristics

  • typically ~100-500km, smaller than mid-latitude cyclones

  • typical central pressures of 950hPa, but record low of 870hPa, lower than mid-latitude cyclones

SSPs

  • SSP5-8.5 

    • CO2 emissions peak in 2090 at almost 120 GtCO2/year

    • warming of almost 5 degrees by 2100

  • SSP1-1.9 

    • CO2 emissions drop below net zero in 2055

    • warming stalls below 2 degrees

  • SSP1-2.6

    • reduced emissions

    • ideal

    • warming stop 2075 at below 2 degrees

    • strong warming at poles, largest changes in Arctic region, up to 5 degrees

  • SSP3-7.0

    • continued increase in emissions

    • strong warming across global, up to 7 degrees

    • especially Northern Hemisphere
