- 🌡️ Climate change is complicated in its effect on cyclone frequency and intensity, but the primary impact discussed is on intensity.
- 🌊 The intensity of cyclones is directly driven by ocean temperature, as warmer oceans lead to more moisture in the atmosphere.
The Role of Ocean Moisture
- 💧 Moisture from the ocean is the primary fuel for hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons.
- 🔥 As this moisture condenses, it releases heat, which drives the storm's circulation and intensification.
Future Storm Intensification
- 📈 Under climate change, warmer oceans are expected to lead to increased atmospheric moisture.
- 🌪️ This will likely result in much more intense storms in the future.
