The phrase
"increased storminess" means that there is more frequent or intense occurrence of storms.
Full definition
These experiments also show a decline in storminess and wind intensity eastwards into the Mediterranean (Busuioc, 2001; Tomozeiu et al., 2007), but with localised
increased storminess in parts of the Adriatic, Aegean and Black Seas (Guedes Soares et al., 2002).
Off the top of my head I can think of at least three teleconnections connected with El Nino: increased precipitation in the SW US, decreased Atlantic hurricane activity and
increased storminess along the SW coast of Africa and around the Cape of Good Hope.
The original claims
of increased storminess and severe weather made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are scientifically incorrect.
iv) An AGW proponent might ignore the lack of any net surface temperature rise and instead seize on the idea that CO2 might make a large enough difference to
increase storminess at the surface.
There also seemed to be some El Niño effect on sea levels off the Southeast coast, which Hamlington said could be due to
increased storminess and related storm surge.
Forecasters with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have even said that this El Niño could eventually rank among the strongest on record, and may be getting an additional boost from another climatic phenomenon that is known to
increase storminess.
However the shift from a predominantly negative to positive NAO at c. 2000 cal yrs BP preceded
the increased storminess by 1000 years.
Meanwhile, those concerned «global warming» is
increasing storminess might like to access The Storminess Record From Armagh Observatory, Northern Ireland, 1796 - 2002 (here for the.
And how these warming events can have upstream (Jet Stream) impacts that
increase storminess in the middle latitudes.
