One of the difficulties studying changes in the frequency and intensity of cyclones is that the record of past storms is inhomogeneous, due to changes
in observational capabilities and how storms have been measured and recorded.

in hurricane frequency over the twentieth century when you account for increased
observational capabilities through time (Landsea, 2007).
«While the new satellite instruments discussed
in this study have clearly advanced the state - of - the - art
in cloud - radiation
observational capabilities, there is a critical need to extend the length of these records over multiple decades and further improve their accuracy
in order to quantify how clouds are changing
in a warmer climate and how cloud changes impact the Earth's radiation budget.

observational programs to effectively meet the broader goals of improving the understanding of physical processes
in the ocean and the atmosphere and to translate this understanding into improved
observational and modeling
capabilities.
