In #1 we looked at the trends in intensity and frequency of landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs) over 120+ years. In #2 we looked at the same metrics out over the ocean using satellite data, which is available for about the last 40 years. In #3 we looked at “translation speed” or changes in the speed at which the overall TCs are moving. In #4 we looked at trends in rainfall in TCs – missing in action from the IPCC report. And in #5 something called “intensification rates” of TCs.
This is the last trend in TCs that we’ll look at from the 6th Assessment Report.
Here’s the plain English version of the report:
Tropical Cyclones are moving away from the equator towards the poles, at the rate of about 50-60 km (30-40 miles) per decade.
