The researchers
produced a
modelling programme to simulate surges in the river's waters which played a role in floods in recent years, including the
hurricane which swept Scotland in December 2011.
«It is difficult to use climate
models to study
hurricane activity, and so studies such as ours, which
produced a record of storms under different climate conditions, are important for our understanding of future storm activity,» Denniston said.
During Thursday's press conference, officials also touted the updated
models and tools they have to
produce better forecasts for individual storms, part of a concerted effort that has greatly improved
hurricane forecasts over the past couple of decades.
It runs potential storm tracks through sophisticated computer
models to determine the way water might flow over the landscape when a
hurricane hits and
produces maps that are color - coded for various danger levels.
Garner and her team used climate
models to simulate the paths of future
hurricanes and what size storm surges they will
produce.

The two maps below,
produced for the study by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at Princeton, are based on a climate
model comparing the production of strong
hurricanes in conditions mimicking the current climate (basically, average climate conditions from 1980 to 2006) with
hurricane production in conditions simulating those projected for the final two decades of the century.
The US CLIVAR
Hurricane Working Group was formed in January of 2011 to coordinate efforts to
produce a set of
model experiments designed to improve understanding of the variability of tropical cyclone formation in climate
models.
[24] For
hurricane evacuation studies, a family of storms with representative tracks for the region, and varying intensity, eye diameter, and speed, are
modeled to
produce worst - case water heights for any tropical cyclone occurrence.
Throughout the next decade, many idealized numerical experiments demonstrated the capability of this
model to
produce a realistic
hurricane structure, although it would not be until the 1980s that simulations would be attempted using data from real storms.
More specifically, climate
model output has been predicting that CO2 - induced global warming and climate change would
produce more frequent, and more intense, cyclones /
hurricanes that would continuously terrorize many coastal populations.
