Thus the historical tropical storm count record does not provide compelling evidence for a greenhouse warming induced long - term increase. (gfdl.noaa.gov)
To estimate the trend in landfalling storm counts, we count the number of large surge events greater than 10 units in 1 y, which is roughly equivalent to hurricane categories 0 — 5. (rogerpielkejr.blogspot.ru)
In summary, neither our model projections for the 21st century nor our analyses of trends in Atlantic hurricane and tropical storm counts over the past 120 + yr support the notion that greenhouse gas - induced warming leads to large increases in either tropical storm or overall hurricane numbers in the Atlantic.
