Previous Global Warming Hiatus Linked with Cyclone Intensity
- "The intensity and frequency of strong tropical cyclones, as well as cyclone landfalls, have increased in recent decades in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, raising speculation about the root cause of the surge in destructive Category 4 and 5 storms. Now atmospheric researchers at the [University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa] have published a study in Scientific Reports showing a strong connection between sea surface temperature patterns associated with the Global Warming Hiatus phenomenon and changes in cyclone activity over the northwest Pacific Ocean." - Excerpt from University of Hawaii.
