Global warming and United States landfalling hurricanes
- Chunzai Wang, Sang-Ki Lee,
- Original article citation: Geophys. Res. Lett. 35, (2008).
- Categories: Extreme Events and Climate Impacts

- Reasons for recommending:
Focusing on the relationship between sea surface temperature and vertical wind shear, this paper by Wang and Lee "uses observational data to demonstrate that the attribution of the recent increase in Atlantic hurricane activity to global warming is premature and that global warming may decrease the likelihood of hurricanes making landfall in the United States." This is one of three new papers on sea surface temperature and hurricanes that we're featuring in the Journal Club this week. Taken together, what do you think these papers have to say?
