ScienceBrief: Climate change probably intensifying tropical cyclones

A new ScienceBrief Review entitled: “Climate change is probably increasing the intensity of tropical cyclones” was published today on the ScienceBrief platform.

This Review is part of series on Critical Issues in Climate Change Science, developed to inform decisions ahead of COP26 in November. It was written by a team from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Princeton University, University of East Anglia (UEA) and the Tyndall Centre.
