Sentences with phrase «global hurricane energy»

Since hurricane intensity and detection data is problematic as one goes back in time, when reporting and observing practices were different than today, it is possible that we underestimated global hurricane energy during the 1970s.

The North Atlantic only represents a 1/10 to 1/8 of global hurricane energy output on average but deservedly so demands disproportionate media attention due to the devastating societal impacts of recent major hurricane landfalls.

Using a well - accepted metric called the Accumulated Cyclone Energy index or ACE for short (Bell and Chelliah 2006), which has been used by Klotzbach (2006) and Emanuel (2005)(PDI is analogous to ACE), and most recently by myself in Maue (2009), simple analysis shows that 24 - month running sums of global ACE or hurricane energy have plummeted to levels not seen in 30 Energy index or ACE for short (Bell and Chelliah 2006), which has been used by Klotzbach (2006) and Emanuel (2005)(PDI is analogous to ACE), and most recently by myself in Maue (2009), simple analysis shows that 24 - month running sums of global ACE or hurricane energy have plummeted to levels not seen in 30 energy have plummeted to levels not seen in 30 years.

While it is true that one published report indicates decreasing global accumulated cyclone energy (ACE), that report was based on a hurricane data set known to have strong biases outside the North Atlantic region.

Indeed, the very strong interannual variability of global hurricane ACE (energy) highly correlated to ENSO, suggests that the role of tropical cyclones in climate is modulated very strongly by the big movers and shakers in large - scale, global climate.

With respect to hurricane intensity, there are observed trends indicating this and model results predicting this, and while there are problems in each (data problems with hurricanes, coarse resolution in global models, etc.), theoretical arguments also make clear that there will be more energy and water vapor available in the atmosphere to cause more intense hurricanes, so a very strong case can be made for this happening.

Deep moist atmospheric convection controls the development of major weather systems like hurricanes, drives the global transport of energy within the climate system and strongly influences the uncertainty of projected climate change.

-- Muller believes humans are changing climate with CO2 emissions — humans have been responsible for «most» of a 0.4 C warming since 1957, almost none of the warming before then — IPCC is in trouble due to sloppy science, exaggerated predictions; chairman will have to resign — the «Climategate» mails were not «hacked» — they were «leaked» by an insider — due to «hide the decline» deception, Muller will not read any future papers by Michael Mann — there has been no increase in hurricanes or tornadoes due to global warming — automobiles are insignificant in overall picture — China is the major CO2 producer, considerably more than USA today — # 1 priority for China is growth of economy — global warming is not considered important — China CO2 efficiency (GDP per ton CO2) is around one - fourth of USA today, has much room for improvement — China growth will make per capita CO2 emissions at same level as USA today by year 2040 — if it is «not profitable» it is «not sustainable» — US energy future depends on shale gas for automobiles; hydrogen will not be a factor — nor will electric cars, due to high cost — Muller is upbeat on nuclear (this was recorded pre-Fukushima)-- there has been no warming in the USA — Muller was not convinced of Hansen's GISS temperature record; hopes BEST will provide a better record.

It will also be interesting to see plaintiffs explain this graph of accumulated cyclone energy in the light of their theory that man - made global warming is increasing hurricane strengths and frequencies (ACE is a sort of integration of hurricane and tropical storm strengths over time).

So while CO2 levels are higher, the global energy associated with hurricanes is unchanged.

By co-incidence, at typical Atlantic hurricane generates wind energy at a rate comparable to global electrical generation capacity.

Finally, I think what the media really want to know when they ask about Katrina and global warming is whether the connection is «significant», and I don't think there's consensus there, partly as Gavin says, that's a matter of semantics, partly it's a genuine disagreement as to how important global warming is where hurricanes are concerned compared to other factors, and how «significant» an argument the influence of global warming on hurricanes is for deciding energy policy.

* hope that the scientists forecasting low temperature rise are correct, * start mitigation programs (much of which are necessary anyway, such as preparation of the US East coast for rising sea levels (necessary anyway to prepare for normal hurricane impacts) * crash fund climate research — rather than the underfunded, uncoordinated work done today — to better predict and prepare, * crash fund energy research, * push use of alternatives (I don't expect much from this), * take steps to crash the global economy — the alarmists recommendation, which I reject.
