According to researchers, additional future warming of tropical Pacific waters — due in part to human activity — should continue the long -
term storminess trend.
Not exact matches
We suggest that the long -
term trends in
storminess were caused by insolation changes, while oceanic forcing may have influenced millennial variability.
It's not really obvious how all of this relates to the «variability» issue, but right now I don't think we have a satisfactory handle on how mid-latitude
storminess might change in a new climate, in
terms of frequency or intensity.
The researchers failed to find any long -
term trends in Arctic
storminess, suggesting that summer weather hasn't been a major driver of the overall decades - long ice loss in the Arctic.
There is also low confidence for a clear trend in
storminess proxies over the last century due to inconsistencies between studies or lack of long -
term data in some parts of the world (particularly in the SH).
They found no long -
term trend during the last 100 years, but a clear rise since a minimum of
storminess in the 1960s, which is consistent with the rise in extreme geostrophic wind found by Jones et al. (1999c).
