A research team funded in part by the Climate Program Office’s Climate Observations and Monitoring Program has published a new paper describing salinity’s significance in the rapid intensification of Atlantic tropical cyclones, and the possibility of improving our models for rapid intensification by including salinity.
The research shows that eliminating anthropogenic emissions from the City of Boston could also decrease public health mortalities by 288 deaths per year, saving the city $2.4 billion annually.
Using climate projections to assess climate change risks remains challenging, in part due to the large associated uncertainties, such as those for extreme events.
