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

Enrico Scoccimarro
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.
