New data links global warming and major storms

Robert Scott, an oceanographer at the University of Texas, used surface temperature data on the tropical Atlantic Ocean over decades to show the area that spawns hurricanes is dramatically enlarged in recent times.

His data reveals that since 1970, the eastern side of the Atlantic, touching the African coast, has grown warmer, passing the threshold of 26.5 degrees Celsius, which allows hurricanes to form. That data demonstrates that the traditional area where these storms are birthed has grown by hundreds of kilometers. In fact, Scott said, hurricanes are originating an average of 500 kilometers farther east since 1970, spending more time over warmer water. That means the storms are getting stronger because they draw their strength from warm water, and the pool of such water is now larger.
