Sentences with phrase «overall storm frequency»

In a series of Atlantic basin - specific dynamical downscaling studies (Bender et al. 2010; Knutson et al. 2013), we attempted to address both of these limitations by letting the Atlantic basin regional model of Knutson et al. (2008) provide the overall storm frequency information, and then downscaling each individual storm from the regional model study into the GFDL hurricane prediction system.

(Overall storm frequency was unchanged.)

Not exact matches

Also, unlike the bulk of climate models to date, the increase in odds of extreme storms found in the study stems both from a shift toward more intense hurricanes as well as an overall increase in hurricane frequency.

As the climate changes, tropical cyclones are expected to produce more rain and the frequency of the highest intensity storms is projected to increase even though the overall number of storms may remain unchanged or perhaps even decrease.

At the end of their comment # 27 the authors state «Turning to very important question of the frequency of the strongest storms, it is entirely possible that a large increase in category 4 - 5 storms will result from increasing greenhouse gases, despite an overall reduction in hurricane numbers.

I find the entire concept of attempting to partially attribute cyclone power or frequency of specific storms to climate change wanting, in light of the fact that the overall numbers do not appear to demonstrate any trend.

But focusing the debate within societies on overall frequency or intensity or degrees of this or that in this or that geographical basin as a way to evaluate the relationship between climate change and tropical storms is confusing the issue.

Mid-latitude storms have decreased in frequency (e.g., in the United States overall) while high - latitude storm activity has increased (e.g., in Canada).4 It is likely that human influence contributed to these changes.5

-- «Other trends in severe storms, including the intensity & frequency of tornadoes, hail, and damaging thunderstorm winds, are uncertain» — «lack of any clear trend in landfall frequency along the U.S. eastern and Gulf coasts» — «when averaging over the entire contiguous U.S., there is no overall trend in flood magnitudes»

When we consider this effect in combination with the likely increase in storm frequency due to El Niño, it's clear the potential exists for a very active winter overall.

Whether warming worsens storms [still very difficult to determine whether global warming will increase the overall frequency of intense storms (partly because these are difficult to resolve in current - generation climate models), but clear evidence has emerged of the increase in most intense category 4 - 5 hurricanes / cyclones / typhoons]
