«The evidence seems strong» for a link between the NAO and
preferred hurricane tracks, says climatologist Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.
The perceptible (and perhaps measurable) impact of global warming on
hurricanes in today's climate is arguably a pittance (or noise) compared to the reorganization and modulation of
hurricane formation locations and
preferred tracks / intensification corridors dominated by ENSO (and other natural climate factors).
