A potential explanation for the global increase in tropical cyclone rapid intensification

K. Bhatia, A. Baker, et al.

This groundbreaking study by Kieran Bhatia and colleagues explores the alarming rise in tropical cyclone rapid intensification events worldwide. The research highlights the role of human activities in increasing these intensity rates, suggesting a significant shift in the thermodynamic environments surrounding tropical cyclones, and calls for enhanced coastal resilience in the face of future climate challenges.
