, in China and Japan, are used. The physical mechanisms responsible for their development are complex and not fully understood, but it is known that they require high sea-surface temperatures (SST), a moderate Coriolis force, a pre-existent synoptic perturbation (normally a monsoon trough or easterly wave) and low wind shear (Fink and Speth, 1998; Galvin, 2008). The dependence on high sea tem-perature has opened the debate on a pos-sible increase in the frequency of tropical cyclones in a…

Changes in Tropical Cyclone Number, Duration, and Intensity in a Warming Environment

A large increase was seen in the number and proportion of hurricanes reaching categories 4 and 5 and the number of cyclones and cyclone days has decreased in all basins except the North Atlantic during the past decade.

Intense hurricane activity over the past 5,000 years controlled by El Niño and the West African monsoon

Comparison of the sediment record with palaeo-climate records indicates that this variability was probably modulated by atmospheric dynamics associated with variations in the El Niño/Southern Oscillation and the strength of the West African monsoon, and suggests that sea surface temperatures as high as at present are not necessary to support intervals of frequent intense hurricanes.

Increasing destructiveness of tropical cyclones over the past 30 years

An index of the potential destructiveness of hurricanes based on the total dissipation of power, integrated over the lifetime of the cyclone, is defined and shows that this index has increased markedly since the mid-1970s, due to both longer storm lifetimes and greater storm intensities.

Tropical cyclones.

Over seasonal timescales (from 3-10 months in advance), predictions can be made for the level of cyclone activity to occur during a given season, to indicate the expected number of cyclones that will form or the number of days that there will be cyclones during a season.
