Sentences with phrase «peak precipitation intensities»

Although there is as yet no convincing evidence in the observed record of changes in tropical cyclone behaviour, a synthesis of the recent model results indicates that, for the future warmer climate, tropical cyclones will show increased peak wind speed and increased mean and peak precipitation intensities.

Not exact matches

Under this scenario, peak precipitation rates are likely to increase by 25 % as a result of increases in maximum tropical cyclone wind intensities, which in turn cause higher storm surges.

The colour field underneath the wind arrows shows the precipitation rate on a scale from 0 to 20 mm per hour, noting that peaks in rainfall intensity (which may have been far higher than 20 mm / hr at times in localised regions within the Hurricane circulation), are not resolved in this animation.
