"Storm frequency" refers to how often storms occur within a certain time period. It basically tells us how frequently or frequently we can expect storms to happen, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, or severe thunderstorms.
Full definition
Insurance companies have stated that the reason doesn't have to do
with storm frequency as much as building cost.
As global levels of carbon dioxide rise, changes
in storm frequency, ocean temperature and acidity could have profound impacts on these delicate cycles.
In a series of Atlantic basin - specific dynamical downscaling studies (Bender et al. 2010; Knutson et al. 2013), we attempted to address both of these limitations by letting the Atlantic basin regional model of Knutson et al. (2008) provide the
overall storm frequency information, and then downscaling each individual storm from the regional model study into the GFDL hurricane prediction system.
For the sake of argument, let's assume that man - made global warming increases severed
storm frequency by 20 %, or by 3 or 4 extra hurricanes a year (why this probably is not happening).
For example, when examining hurricanes and typhoons, the lack of a high - quality, long - term historical record, uncertainty regarding the impact of climate change
on storm frequency and inability to accurately simulate these storms in most global climate models raises significant challenges when attributing assessing the impact of climate change on any single storm.
David Campbell, Boiling Springs, N.C. Stormier weather I was confused by the conclusion that «simulations suggest that the climate effects of greenhouse gases will again reduce tropical
storm frequency later this century» in «Cleaner air may bring on storms &
To evaluate the model's performance in
simulating storms frequency during 1961 — 1990, chi square test is carried out with observed storms for the same period.
Fresh or warm oceans in association with a positive NAO mode are stormy but with very low
sting storms frequency.
-- Susan Solomon, Nature The Long Thaw is written for anyone who wishes to know what cutting - edge science tells us about the modern issue of global warming and its effects on the pathways of atmospheric chemistry, as well as global and regional temperatures, rainfall, sea level, Arctic sea - ice coverage, melting of the continental ice sheets,
cyclonic storm frequency and intensity and ocean acidification.
Under probabilistic relative sea level projections, while
maintaining storm frequency fixed, we estimate a median 40-fold increase (ranging from 1 - to 1314-fold) in the expected annual number of local 100 - year floods for tide - gauge locations along the contiguous US coastline by 2050.
Interestingly, despite the notion that AGW should
decrease storm frequency and increase intensity, these two appear to be directly rather than inversely related in existing record.
Today, Fan's Early Career Research project centers on investigations of how such physical factors could affect
severe storm frequency and intensity in the central United States.
When we consider this effect in combination with the likely increase in
storm frequency due to El Niño, it's clear the potential exists for a very active winter overall.
Indeed figure 1 does show greater temperature variability back in the LIA than now in the CET record (like a 1976 National Geographic global cooling article suggested, for cooling as opposed to warming, and like a recent study
of storm frequency in the LIA compared to the MWP observed).
Additionally, changes in anthropogenic sulfate aerosol forcing have been proposed as the dominant cause of the AMV and the historical multidecadal variations in Atlantic
tropical storm frequency, based on some model simulations including aerosol indirect effects.
Climate impacts that could affect the DOD's nearly 7,600 sites worldwide include hotter temperatures, rising sea levels and
increasing storm frequency and intensity
He pointed to hurricanes, an icon for Mr. Gore, who highlights the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and cites research suggesting that global warming will cause
both storm frequency and deadliness to rise.

Evidence has shown that weather extremes (i.e. extreme temperatures, extreme precipitation, and
storm frequencies) have a negative influence on where people choose to live, and climate - driven changes may influence regional migration.
This rhythm in
storm frequency may explain some of the recently observed increases in extreme precipitation events.
We believe that
storm frequency in our model is controlled by shears and by the gravitational stability of the vertical temperature profile (we are currently trying to determine the relative importance of these factors).
We demonstrate that
storm frequency and intensity appear to rise in a stepwise manner during the late Holocene.
Although in agreement with the orbital forcing and the Holocene glacial history, increasing
storm frequency and intensity is most probably partly biased by continuous sea - level rise and resulting erosion.
