A new study published in Science Advances suggests an increase in the variability of Atlantic tropical cyclone activity, leading to more active and inactive hurricane seasons and less near-normal seasons, according NOAA and partner researchers.
The study investigates how the frequency and accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) in the North Atlantic might change in the future.
ACE, a measure of total seasonal activity used by NOAA scientists to review into past and future changes in tropical cyclone activity, was used to examine changes occurring between or over two or more years and the impact of climate
