Not exact matches
They include soaring temperatures, declining
late - season snowpack, northward - shifted winter
storm tracks, increasing precipitation intensity, the worst drought since measurements began, steep declines in Colorado River reservoir storage, widespread vegetation mortality, and sharp increases in the
frequency of large wildfires.
Reconstructed centennial variability of
Late Holocene storminess from Cors Fochno, Wales, UK Future anthropogenic climate forcing is forecast to increase
storm intensity and
frequency over Northern Europe, due to a northward shift of the
storm tracks, and a positive North Atlantic Oscillation.
We demonstrate that
storm frequency and intensity appear to rise in a stepwise manner during the
late Holocene.
According to the
latest climate models, however, the
frequency of these north - drifting extreme
storms will drop in the coming decades — but their intensity and likelihood for causing damage will worsen.
The first idea is supported by published research suggesting an increasing
frequency of
late - season
storms like Sandy (persisting into November or
later), and the latter is simply a deduction from principles of physics: If oceans are hotter, hurricanes are more likely to be able to travel north out of the tropics and still have their energy source sustained.
