Not exact matches

Most scientists expect the increase in the number of strong hurricanes as the climate warms to be at the expense of smaller ones, meaning fewer overall.

Overall, there appears to have been a substantial 100 - year trend leading to related increases of over 0.78 C in SST and over 100 % in tropical cyclone and hurricane numbers.

It is concluded that the overall trend in SSTs, and tropical cyclone and hurricane numbers is substantially influenced by greenhouse warming.

At the end of their comment # 27 the authors state «Turning to very important question of the frequency of the strongest storms, it is entirely possible that a large increase in category 4 - 5 storms will result from increasing greenhouse gases, despite an overall reduction in hurricane numbers.

Although the overall number of storms in the region are expected to drop, the number of strong ones — those reaching Category 4 or 5 in the hurricane index — are expected to double from the number produced now, the study says.

But the overall number of hurricanes in many regions was likely to «either decrease or remain essentially unchanged.»

As noted above, there is some indication from high resolution models of substantial increases in the numbers of the most intense hurricanes even if the overall number of tropical storms or hurricanes decreases.

The model also supports the notion of a substantial decrease (~ 25 %) in the overall number of Atlantic hurricanes and tropical storms with projected 21st century climate warming.
