Sentences with phrase «greater hurricane intensity»

Isn't higher air / water temperature a great factor in greater hurricane intensity?

... defended his view that changing sea conditions could be contributing to greater hurricane intensity.

«The implication is that the warmer oceans increased the risk of greater hurricane intensity and duration,» Trenberth said.

Increasing temps cause greater hurricane intensity, then further increases decrease that intensity (maybe due to wind shear), then??

Not exact matches

Globally, estimates of the potential destructiveness of hurricanes show a significant upward trend since the mid-1970s, with a trend towards longer lifetimes and greater storm intensity, and such trends are strongly correlated with tropical SST.

He is saying his modelling predicts fewer hurricanes, but of greater intensity.

Since daily ACE represents a 4 - times daily sum of wind speed squared, an «average» September 21st could see one of the following (among other combos): One TC at 125 knots Two TCs at 90 knots Three TCs at 70 knots or Six TCs at 50 knots Current TCs = 0 September 15: Global Hurricane Frequency [storms with maximum intensity greater than 64 knots] has dramatically collapsed during the past 2 - 3 years.

Interestingly, their noisy regression (slope) results hint at a much greater sensitivity of hurricane intensity to SST than our simulations...

However, other dimensions that still hold higher degrees of scientific uncertainty — such as the linkages between climate change and hurricane intensity, or on matters of political disagreement, such as if cap and trade legislation is an effective solution — remain subjects where journalists justifiably should emphasize a greater diversity of views.

Of course, there have been many Atlantic hurricanes of greater intensity, even affecting NY and above.

The Gulf Coast is historically prone to hurricanes, but climate change has contributed to a greater intensity of extreme weather events like hurricanes and an increase in the amount of rain produced by those events.

We are told that global warming is increasing the intensity of hurricanes, but not provided information on the great amount of uncertainty and vigorous scientific debate on this issue.

Globally, estimates of the potential destructiveness of hurricanes show a signifi cant upward trend since the mid-1970s, with a trend towards longer lifetimes and greater storm intensity, and such trends are strongly correlated with tropical SST.

Or that the warming of the surface waters in the tropical Atlantic is suspected of giving us future hurricanes of greater intensity?

So efforts to identify hurricane intensities that are high in the 1940s - 1960s are futile in refuting our hypothesis unless intensities are identified to be greater than those we have seen in the past decade.

[A] nthropogenic climate change is expected to lead to a greater incidence of high - intensity hurricanes, which together with rising sea level, will produce increased risk of storm surge flooding, while hurricanes are projected to produce substantially more precipitation as the atmosphere and oceans warm.
