Harbingers of increased Atlantic hurricane activity identified Reconstructions of past hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean indicate that the most active hurricane period in the past was during the "Medieval Climate Anomaly" about a thousand years ago when climate conditions created a "perfect storm" of La Niņa-like conditions combined with warm tropical Atlantic waters. http://www.physorg.com/news169301657.html Space & Earth Wed, 12 Aug 2009 13:15:22 EST news169301657 Lesson from the past for surviving climate change Research led by the University of Leicester suggests people today and in future generations should look to the past in order to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. http://www.physorg.com/news162642570.html Space & Earth Wed, 27 May 2009 11:30:35 EST news162642570 Hurricanes not likely to disrupt ocean carbon balance (PhysOrg.com) -- Hurricanes are well known for the trail of damage and debris they can leave on land, but less known for the invisible trail left over the ocean by their gale-force winds - a trail of carbon dioxide. http://www.physorg.com/news157644929.html Space & Earth Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:16:06 EST news157644929 It's relative: Contrasting hurricane theories heat up In a paper published in the journal Science today, scientists Gabriel A. Vecchi of NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Kyle L. Swanson of the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Atmospheric Sciences Group and Brian J. Soden from the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science teamed up to study hurricane data observed over more than 50 years. http://www.physorg.com/news144680456.html Space & Earth Fri, 31 Oct 2008 14:00:56 EST news144680456 Research supports suggestions that global warming will do little to change hurricane activity In a study published in the July 2008 issue of Geophysical Research Letters, Drs. David S. Nolan and Eric D. Rappin from the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science describe a new method for evaluating the frequency of hurricane formation in present and future tropical climates. While current thinking about changes in hurricane frequency comes mostly from computer simulations of global climate, the computer models used for these studies can only represent the coarsest features of hurricanes, thus casting doubt in their predictions of hurricane activity. http://www.physorg.com/news137771979.html Space & Earth Tue, 12 Aug 2008 14:59:39 EST news137771979 Boston Hurricane Frequency Over Last Millennium Linked To Ocean Surface Temperatures (PhysOrg.com) -- The frequency of hurricanes striking the Boston area has varied widely over the last millennium, with periods of lowest activity corresponding to cooler surface temperatures in the tropical North Atlantic Ocean, according to newly published research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. http://www.physorg.com/news136820029.html Space & Earth Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:33:49 EST news136820029
