NASA looks at sea level rise, hurricane risks to New York City
10-25-2006 · EurekAlert!
New York City has been an area of concern during hurricane season for many years because of the large population and logistics. More than eight million people live in the city, and it has hundreds of miles of coastline that are vulnerable to hurricane threats. Using computer climate models, scientists at NASA have looked at rising sea levels and hurricane storm surge and will report on them at a science meeting this week.

NASA eyes warm sea surface temperatures for hurricanes
08-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Sea surface temperatures are one of the key ingredients for tropical cyclone formation and they were warming up in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean and eastern Atlantic Ocean by the middle of August. As a result, they helped spawn Hurricane Dean in the central Atlantic, and Tropical Storm Erin in the Gulf of Mexico, both during the week of Aug. 13.

Climate's remote control on hurricanes
12-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Natural climate variations, which tend to involve localized changes in sea surface temperature, may have a larger effect on hurricane activity than the more uniform patterns of global warming, a report in this week's Nature suggests.

Increased hurricane activity linked to sea surface warming
01-30-2008 · EurekAlert!
The link between changes in the temperature of the sea’s surface and increases in North Atlantic hurricane activity has been quantified for the first time. The research - carried out by scientists at UCL and due to be published in Nature on Jan. 31 -- shows that a 0.5 C increase in sea surface temperature can be associated with a ~40 per cent increase in hurricane activity.

Microfossils unravel climate history of tropical Africa
03-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists from the NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research obtained for the first time a detailed temperature record for tropical central Africa over the past 25,000 years. The scientists developed an entirely new method to reconstruct the history of land temperatures based on the molecular fossils of soil bacteria. The results have been published in this week's issue of Science.

Researchers Link Ice Age Climate-change Records To Ocean Salinity
10-07-2006 · ScienceDaily
Sudden decreases in temperature over Greenland and tropical rainfall patterns during the last Ice Age have been linked for the first time to rapid changes in the salinity of the north Atlantic Ocean, according to research published Oct. 5, 2006, in the journal Nature.
