How hurricanes develop also depends on how the local atmosphere responds to changes in
local sea surface temperatures, and this atmospheric response depends critically on the cause of the change.23, 24 For example, the atmosphere responds differently when
local sea surface temperatures increase due to a local decrease of particulate pollution that allows more sunlight through to warm the ocean, versus when sea surface temperatures increase more uniformly around the world due to increased amounts of human - caused heat - trapping gases.18, 25,26,27 So the link between hurricanes and ocean temperatures is complex.
Numerous factors have been shown to influence
these local sea surface temperatures, including natural variability, human - induced emissions of heat - trapping gases, and particulate pollution.

Local sea surface temperatures modified lipid (fat) molecules in the membranes of ancient microbes.
Whether the impact of coral bleaching is moderate or severe determined by a range of factors, including
local sea surface temperature and sea level, as well as nearby human activity, such as pollution.

Here, we report on
local and global changes in MHW characteristics over time as recorded by satellite and in situ measurements of
sea surface temperature (SST) and defined using a quantitative MHW framework, which allows for comparisons across regions and events1.
That's because
local increases in
sea surface temperatures are more effective in fueling storm intensity than are planet - wide increases.

Local weather, particularly extreme local weather, is often determined by fluctuations in large patterns of regional atmospheric pressure and sea surface temperatures, such as the Arctic Oscillation (and its close relative, the North Atlantic Oscillation) and other patterns associated with El Niño - Southern Oscillation (E

In this case upscaling is not carried out since the GCM uncertainty has already been taken into account in the original literature; h — cases where
sea surface temperature is the important variable, hence upscaling has been carried out using the maps from Meehl et al. (2007), using Figures 10.5 and 10.8, taking the increases in
local annual mean (or where appropriate seasonal, from Figure 10.9)
surface air

sea as equal to the
local increases in annual mean or seasonal
sea surface temperature.
Model studies suggest that a collapse of the AMOC could lead to a reduction in
surface air
temperature of around 1 - 3 °C in the North Atlantic region and surrounding land masses, but with
local cooling of up to 8 °C in areas of increased
sea ice (Vellinga and Wood, 2002; Vellinga et al 2002; Manabe and Stouffer; 1997; Jacob et al 2005).
Observed records of Atlantic hurricane activity show some correlation, on multi-year time - scales, between
local tropical Atlantic
sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and the Power Dissipation Index (PDI)-- see for example Fig. 3 on this EPA Climate Indicators site.
