As pointed out in the post, increasing sea surface temps due to GW is a necessary, if not a sufficient cause for
increased TC intensity and frequency.
Emanuel (2005) makes a compelling case that the warming ocean temperatures (and associated changes in atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles) are behind
the increased TC intensity in the Atlantic.
Seems to me the debate about AGHG global warming and
increasing TC frequency / intensity / duration boils down to the fact that as sea surface temperatures, as well as deeper water temperatures rise, the wallop of any TC over warmer seas without mitigating circumstances like wind sheer and dry air off land masses entrained in the cyclone will likely be much more devastating.
Therefore, our long - period analysis does not support claims that
increasing TC [tropical cyclone] landfall frequency or landfall intensity has contributed to concomitantly increasing economic losses.
Emanuel (2005) shows that the warming SSTs are behind
the increased TC intensity in the Atlantic.

After
TC - HMDP injection in the foot, they developed a «sock sign,» defined by highly
increased uptake in the injected lower limb.
Unless I was reading it wrong, there was no significant difference between baseline and 8 wk values for TGs, total and LDL cholesterol, but there was a significant
increase of HDL by 8 weeks which would decrease the LDL: HDL and
TC: HDL ratios.
I am facing a similar situation on a carb restricted diet: while my lipids have improved (HDL up from 40 to 59, TG down from 120 to 68,
TC down from 225 to 180, LDL down from 147 to 118, weight down from 160 pounds to 140 pounds) my FBG has
increased 90 to 100.
I have always had conventional perfect lipids and suspected borderline low T4 for my sudden
increase in LDL this past year (Paleo, VLC, < 50 Gm until you advised us to knock that off) My
TC went from 160 - 70 to 240 all due to a rising LDL (HDL 80 - 90, TG 50's) NMR LDL - P is 1400 so I guess I will try some copper, that is all that is left to try except a more serious exercise daily program.
«Strong evidence indicates that dietary saturated fatty acids (SFA) are positively associated with intermediate markers and end - point health outcomes for two distinct metabolic pathways: 1)
increased serum total cholesterol (
TC) and LDL cholesterol (LDL - C) and
increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and 2)
increased markers of insulin resistance and
increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D).
However, I doubted that an
increase in saturated fat, or purging of visceral fat, would be responsible for a 75 %
increase in
TC from 200 to 350.
Certainly, at first glance, the
TC's 2.35:1, 1080p presentation looks sharper than that of the DC, but once the action moves into bright daylight, this
increased detail reveals itself to be mostly the work of edge - enhancement that replaces the naturalistic grain of the DC with a scrim of noise.
Wilder and Mongillo (2007) found that the integration of technology tools such as referential communication tasks (a series of game - like online tasks in which students must describe a set of pictures) and online modules
increased the expository writing skills of

The abstract of the Ainsworth et al seems to provide some support for both
TC and BPL: «Rising atmospheric [CO2] is altering global temperature and precipitation patterns, which challenges agricultural productivity,» yet «rising [CO2] provides a unique opportunity to
increase the productivity of C3 crops...»
So isn't not fair to state that we see
increase in
TC power in recent decades, and that this is expected giving rising SST, which are driven by greenhouse gas forcing.
Yoshimura et al., 2006 have shown that the solutions may be sensitive to the choice parameterization schemes: they found an
increase in
TC number over the Indian Ocean if the model used the Kuo cumulus parameterization but a decrease if the Arkawa - Schubert cumulus parameterization scheme was used.
Consider a system having a phase transition a temperature
Tc, initially at temperature T less than
Tc and I
increase the temperature toward
Tc.
Confidence in the latter is not related to
TC intensity or frequency; it comes from the probable
increase in heavy rain events and the inevitable rise in sea level that will make it easier for storm surges to go inland.
That would be wonderful if at least Atlantic
TC reduce or do not
increase with GW, since GW is and will be doing so much greater harm thru droughts, floods, disappearing glaciers, disease spread, ocean anoxia (with HS outgassing likely to follow), species loss, heat deaths,... am I leaving anything out?
[W] e know that (i) the warming is likely in large part anthropogenic, and (ii) that the recent
increases in
TC [tropical cyclone] frequency are related to that warming.
So we know that (i) the warming is likely in large part anthropogenic, and (ii) that the recent
increases in
TC frequency are related to that warming.
Is
TC saying that
increased fertilization due to CO2 is going to act as a negative feedback of sufficient magnitude that the problem of anthropogenic emissions is smaller than generally believed?
It hardly seems a leap of faith to put two - and - two together and conclude that there is likely a relationship between anthropogenic warming and
increased Atlantic
TC activity.
Actually, what alternative explanation is there for the
increase of
TC activity but anthropogenic climate change?
The atmospheric components of climate models were never really designed for the study of
TCs, but the fact that they can produce features with
TC - like character when run at sufficiently high resolutions, gives us
increased confidence in the possibility that climate models can be used to analyze climate change impacts on
TCs.
For example, if SSTs are
increasing in the main development region for Atlantic tropical storms, but
increasing even more over other regions, then the main development region may not become more favorable for
TC development.
Furthermore, a new analysis published in Nature by Kerry Emanuel («
Increasing destructiveness of tropical cyclones over the past 30 years») points to a high correlation between the power of the
TCs and the sea surface temperature (SST).
That would seem to close the loop on the argument that anthropogenic forcing is likely behind a substantial component of the observed
increased intensity of Atlantic
TCs.
In short, the V+S results could presage a future where there is
increased interannual variability in
TC behavior, and where the worst Hurricane seasons are considerably more destructive than today.
In some more detail,
TCs with central pressure lower than 920 hPa decreased, those around 950 hPa
increased, and those around 980 hPa decreased.
Even if there is equal warming in the tropics, but the heat is not dissipated to the poles fast enough by the ocean currents, the area of high SSTs will
increase and more heat will dissipated by other means like
TC's.
Global warming experiments with a «20 km grid» (actually spectral) GCM of the Meteorological Research Institute (MRI, of Japan) shows intensification of strong
TCs (consistent with the GFDL model study), and
increase of the life time of individual
TCs (as Emanuel suggests), but also decrease of the total number of tropical storms.
You need to demonstrate that there is a significant
increase in
TC activity after volcanic eruptions (I must admit I doubt it).
it seems that your conclusion:» the observed relationship between
increased intensity of
TCs and rising ocean temperatures appears to be robust» is in direct contradiction with your conclusion «our knowledge of likely future changes in hurricanes or tropical cyclones (
TCs) remains an uncertain area of science».
I am not sure whether the collective total power of
TCs, or Emanuel's PDI,
increases or decreases as climate warms in that model.
-- «But global warming very definitely DOES affect the temperature of the tropical free troposphere, so it is not possible to conclude, as alas many have, that
increasing SST per se means
increasing tropical cyclone intensity (though it usually does signify more
TC - related rain).»
Also, will the hurricane season be
increased as a result of climate change (which will raise SSTs above the c. 26 C mark necessary for the development of TDs, TSs, and
TCs)?
water temperatures and with an
increasing frequency / severity of
TCs, and you're headed for trouble.
I wonder if the fact the higher SSTs will lead to somewhat longer seasons (and 2005 certainly had that), and larger sea - surface area where
TCs might form, would serve to counteract the effect you describe, and still lead, net - net, to an
increase in the number of tropical cyclones with higher SSTs.
With AGW
increasing SST's generally world wide, a cooling troposphere why would it not be plausible to conclude an
increase in intensity of
TC's.
States that climate models mostly continue to predict future decreases in global
TC numbers, projected
increases in the intensities of the strongest storms and
increased rainfall rates
