    • Comparison of tropical cyclogenesis indices on seasonal to interannual timescales 

      Menkes, C.E.; Lengaigne, M.; Marchesiello, P.; Jourdain, N.C.; Vincent, E.M.; Lefevre, J.; Chauvin, F.; Royer, J.-F. (Springer-Verlag, 2012)
      The performances of four cyclogenesis indices against observed tropical cyclone genesis on a global scale over the period 1979–2001 are evaluated. These indices are: the Genesis Potential Index; the Yearly Genesis Parameter; ...
    • Impact of tropical cyclones on the heat budget of the south Pacific Ocean 

      Jullien, S.; Menkes, C.E.; Marchesiello, P.; Jourdain, N.C.; Lengaigne, M.; Koch-Larrouy, A.; Lefevre, J.; Vincent, E.M.; Faure, V. (American Meteorological Society, 2012)
      The integrated ocean response to tropical cyclones (TCs) in the South Pacific convergence zone through a complete ocean heat budget was investigated. The TC impact analysis is based on the comparison between two long-term ...
    • Mesoscale simulation of tropical cyclones in the South Pacific: Climatology and interannual variability 

      Jourdain, N.C.; Marchesiello, P.; Menkes, C.E.; Lefevre, J.; Vincent, E.M.; Lengaigne, M.; Chauvin, F. (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      The Weather Research and Forecast model at 1/3 degree resolution is used to simulate the statistics of tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the present climate of the South Pacific. In addition to the large-scale conditions, ...
    • Ocean feedback to tropical cyclones: Climatology and processes 

      Jullien, S.; Marchesiello, P.; Menkes, C.E.; Lefevre, J.; Jourdain, N.C.; Samson, G.; Lengaigne, M. (Springer, 2014)
      This study presents the first multidecadal and coupled regional simulation of cyclonic activity in the South Pacific. The long-term integration of state-of the art models provides reliable statistics, missing in usual event ...
