Although the age model gives some uncertainty in the timings, it appears that storminess increased at the onset and close of North Atlantic cold events associated with oceanic changes, with
reduced storm activity at their peak.
«While you might expect
reduced storm activity to be something good, it turns out that this reduction leads to a greater persistence of weather systems in the Northern hemisphere mid-latitudes.
If you were to inject SO2 into the Northern Hemisphere, the models show, you would
reduce storm activity in the North Atlantic — probably because the injection would put the tropical jet stream on a collision course with the Atlantic hurricane main development region.

Reports blamed the conflict for changes in land use and cover — and for
activities like increased military traffic over unpaved surfaces and farmers
reducing irrigation or abandoning agricultural land — that created extreme amounts of dust to fuel the
storm.
You should also be aware that a rare tropical
storm can wash out scuba
activities and
reduce visibility for 2 or 3 days at a time.
Perhaps part of the reason why the poles warm more strongly than the lower latitudes (in addition to
reduced sea - ice) may be an increase in
storm activity along the
storm tracks?
Slowing such overturning by
reducing the horizontal differential heating could tend to allow heat to build up at lower levels until the lapse rate is more favorable to localized vertical overturning (LVO)(The two forms of overturning are not always completely distinct or separate; for example, the Hadley cell, Walker, and monsoon circulations, as well as extratropical
storm track
activity (developing from baroclinic instability (Rossby wave phenomena)-RRB- are driven and organized in part by horizontal differential heating, but in the ascending portions of these circulations, cumulus - type convection can occur).
If so, this is one way in which global warming may end up causing a decrease in Atlantic hurricane
activity over the coming decades, since the increased wind shear over the Atlantic during El Niño events greatly
reduces the number and intensity of these
storms.»
The document is divided into five chapters, namely: 1) Uncovering mitigation potential showcasing initiatives to
reduce greenhouse gases emissions; 2) Gearing up for the
storm relating to adaptation and disaster risk reduction projects; 3) Nurturing youth leaders presenting
activities in education, training and capacity - building; 4) Spreading the message highlighting awareness raising campaigns and materials; and 5) Shaping up the future climate change regime presenting examples of youth participation in climate change policy - making.
This isn't proof that the world is entering a global cooling cycle, but the absence of sunspots is the most prolonged in a century, and scientists say the
reduced solar
activity is reminiscent of the Maunder Minimum, between 1645 and 1715, when the Northern Hemisphere suffered through the coldest weather, worst
storms and shortest growing seasons of the Little Ice Age..
It's even possible that that the Triple R played a role in sustaining itself by
reducing North Pacific
storm activity and preventing vertical mixing of cooler sub-surface ocean water, culminating in a self - reinforcing feedback loop by which atmospheric ridging led to warm SSTs, which in turn led to more ridging, and so on.
