Tropical Cyclones are getting intensified by Climate Change
New research by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, USA disclosed that tropical cyclones get intensified due to climate change of the Earth. The University of Wisconsin-Madison Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) was also in the research jointly; they analyzed enhanced infrared satellite imagery for nearly 40 years.
The report of their research published in the activities of the Academy of Sciences, the USA on Monday. Their research reflected that the intensity of tropical cyclones increased throughout the world over the period from 1979 to 2017.
A tropical cyclone is actually a low-pressure area formed due to hot air going upwards and cold air hurrying to fill up the gap, thus creating a form of circular airwave. This circular air then gradually increases its strength covering a wider area along with concentrated shower and thunderstorm activity. It is called by various names like hurricane, cyclone, typhoon, tropical storm on the basis of its strength and the connection of its origin i.e. ocean basin.
