Tropical cyclone formation and motion in the Mozambique Channel

MATYAS – Tropical cyclone formation and motion in the Mozambique Channel Corene J. Matyas Article first published online: 7 Apr 2014 International Journal of Climatology DOI: 10.1002/joc.3985 ABSTRACT: Although tropical cyclones (TCs) forming in the Mozambique Channel are relatively close to land and have affected vulnerable populations, few studies specifically examine these storms. This study analysed […]
