Number 8 Global Warming and Hurricanes While the conversation on global warming has been somewhat polarizing, the vast majority of the global scientific community has reached a consensus regarding its impact. Human activity, namely greenhouse gas emission, is often cited as a major contributor to the global rise in temperature. One of the ways nature

OUR OWN VESSEL, THE BEAUTIFUL QUEEN MARY 2, ENCOUNTERED TROUBLE MUCH CLOSER TO ENGLAND: TWO SEPARATE STORMS OF SUCH SEVERITY
The sounding density over the tropics will be about 10 times higher. So we actually expect there to be a huge improvement in hurricane prediction… both the track prediction (where it goes) and the intensity of the storm. Radio occultation is a remote-sensing technique that provides or measures vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature, water vapor,
Climate change is real. It may seem far away – a problem you can’t see or touch or feel every day. But it is happening — and it is global. To get an idea about what’s at stake — just look at your plate. Food is profoundly affected by climate change — from how it’s
It’s impossible to say that climate change is responsible for any individual storm or hurricane, but climate change is making these storms stronger. How much stronger? It turns out, Hurricane Harvey is the ideal test case to measure how a warming planet and warming oceans, amplify our worst storms. [OPEN] In August of 2017, Hurricane
