Science Perspective Vol. 308, No 5729, pp. 1753-1754, June 17, 2005
"The marked increase in land-falling hurricanes in Florida and Japan in 2004
has raised questions about whether global warming is playing a role. In his
Perspective, Trenberth explains that the observational hurricane record
reveals large natural variability from El Niño and on multidecadal time
scales, and that trends are therefore relatively small. However, sea surface
temperatures are rising and atmospheric water vapor is increasing. These
factors are potentially enhancing tropical convection, including
thunderstorms, and the development of tropical storms. These changes are
expected to increase hurricane intensity and rainfall, but the effect on
hurricane numbers and tracks remains unclear."
