Tropical Cyclones and Climate Change Assessment: Part II: Projected Response to Anthropogenic Warming
Model projections of tropical cyclone (TC) activity response to anthropogenic warming in climate models are assessed. Observations, theory, and models, with increasing robustness, indicate rising global TC risk for some metrics that are projected to impact multiple regions. A 2°C anthropogenic global warming is projected to impact TC activity as follows. 1) The most confident TC-related projection is that sea level rise accompanying the warming w…
Tropical cyclones and climate change
Recent research has strengthened the understanding of the links between climate and tropical cyclones (TCs) on various timescales. Geological records of past climates have shown century‐long variations in TC numbers. While no significant trends have been identified in the Atlantic since the late 19th century, significant observed trends in TC numbers and intensities have occurred in this basin over the past few decades, and trends in other basins…

Modeled Impact of Anthropogenic Warming on the Frequency of Intense Atlantic Hurricanes
Stormy Weather One of the most active questions about the effects of global warming is whether, and how, it might affect the frequency and the strength of hurricanes. Some studies have suggested that warming will bring fewer, and less energetic, hurricanes, while others have claimed that we can expect more intense storms. Bender et al. (p. 454 ; see the news story by Kerr ) explore the influence of global warming on hurricane dynamics over the At…
Teaching and Learning Guide for: The Current Debate on the Linkage between Global Warming and Hurricanes
I Introduction Hurricanes are one of nature's most awe‐inspiring natural systems that are just one manifestation of the generic tropical cyclone; a nonfrontal synoptic scale low‐pressure system that occurs over tropical or subtropical waters, with organized convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity) and a distinct cyclonic surface wind circulation. These storms typically form some distance from the equator in environments with: (i) warm ocean surfac…
The Current Debate on the Linkage Between Global Warming and Hurricanes
Following Hurricane Katrina and the parade of storms that affected the conterminous United States in 2004-2005, the apparent recent increase in intense hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin, and the reported increases in recent decades in some hurricane intensity and duration measures in several basins have received considerable attention. An important ongoing avenue of investigation in the climate and meteorology research communities is to de…
