Sentences with phrase «such intense storms»

Not exact matches

When an extreme event collides with continually rising seas, it takes a less intense storm, such as a Category I hurricane, to inflict as much coastal damage as a Category II or III storm would have had when the seas were lower.

What he found was that not only were the simulations much closer to actual observations, but the high - resolution models were far better at reproducing intense storms, such as hurricanes and cyclones.

Extreme climate and weather events such as record high temperatures, intense downpours and severe storm surges are becoming more common in many parts of the world.

Such relatively quiet seasons will likely continue to occur in the future thanks to the natural variations in Earth's climate, but the most intense typhoons are likely to make up a higher percentage of the storms that occur in the future.

What he found was that not only were the simulations much closer to actual observations, but the high - resolution models were far better at reproducing intense storms, such as hurricanes and cyclones.

Some of the effects of climate change are likely to include more variable weather, heat waves, heavy precipitation events, flooding, droughts, more intense storms such as hurricanes, sea level rise, and air pollution.

Projections suggest an increase in extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall, more intense storms and heat - waves.

The report states that with SIDS being completely dependent on ports and airports, climate change risks such as rising sea levels, increasing temperatures and more frequent and / or intense storms pose serious threats to vital transport infrastructure, services and operations.

As warming climate causes sea level rise, coastal urban areas such as New York City face more frequent and intense episodic flooding following storms and inundation of some low - lying areas (2011-04-26) + Read Science Brief

Assuming a good bit of this was added after the natural warming cycle was started we are probably looking at closer to 1200 ppm over the next century or two before C02 levels begin to decrease again as this natural green house locks up carbon primarily in phytoplankton blooms caused by fertilization from the new large desert regions near the equator and excessive erosion from very intense storm systems the develop in such a hot house climate.

Intense rainfall events contribute a disproportionate amount of erosion relative to the total rainfall contribution, and this effect will only be exacerbated in the future if the frequency of such storms increases.

The toll will continue to rise as climate change leads to more frequent and intense tropical storms, flooding, and extreme weather events such as heat waves and droughts.

This allows time for preparation for such things as higher sea levels, more intense storms — so that the level of damage from weather events might remain constant (i.e., limited to levels for which preparation is not economically justified).

Many other measures or terms exist, such as «named storm days», «hurricane days», «intense hurricanes», «net tropical cyclone activity», and so on.

The GFDL hurricane model (with a grid spacing as fine as 9 km) is able to simulate the frequency, intensity, and structure of the more intense hurricanes, such as category 3 - 5 storms, much more realistically than the regional (18 km grid) model.

Global warming is causing more intense rain and snowstorms in the United States, and making extreme events such as the January 2016 snow storm that crippled most of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast more likely.

Hurricanes in some areas, including the North Atlantic, are likely to become more intense as a result of global warming even though the number of such storms worldwide may decline, according to a new study by MIT researchers.

Scientists have long taken a similarly cautious stance, but more are starting to drop the caveat and link climate change directly to intense storms and other extreme weather events, such as the warm 2012 winter in the eastern U.S. and the frigid one in Europe at the same time.

No analysis has been done on the frequency of intense typhoons (having winds of at least 50 m / s) due to an overestimation of the intensity of such storms in the 1950s and 1960s (Black, 1993).

Leaving long - term damage in their wake, storms such as «Super Storm» Sandy in 2012 have rendered some coastal areas more dangerous and less desirable, lowering property values and reigniting intense debate about restoration, new building and investment in the regions.
