Basic physical reasoning and climate model simulations and projections motivated this study. These results will stimulate further research into the complex natural and anthropogenic processes influencing these tropical cyclone trends and characteristics. |
Scientists have known that hurricanes form above the world's warmest ocean surface waters. This study adds new information about hurricanes' journeys to landfall, and will help to better predict their paths and intensity changes during their final hours over open water. |
The COSMIC mission would not have been possible without the broad support of U.S. sponsors and the partnership with Taiwan. |
