NOAA Model Projects Fewer but More Intense Hurricanes Late This Century
Greenhouse gases have little impact in tropical storm and hurricane numbers
A new model simulation of Atlantic hurricane activity for the last two decades of this century projects fewer hurricanes overall, but a slight increase in intensity for hurricanes that do occur. Hurricanes are also projected to have more intense rainfall, on average, in the future. The findings are reported in a study by scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in Princeton, N.J., which is scheduled to be published online on May 18 in Nature Geoscience.
