Scientists found a decrease in tropical cyclones in most of the world's oceans -- except for the North Atlantic, where the storms increased in frequency.
Before the era of satellites, it was next to impossible to know whether a hurricane occurred out in the open ocean unless a ship was unlucky enough to run into it. And scientists for decades have been trying to piece together a historical record to better understand how the climate crisis is changing these storms.
But researchers said Monday they have constructed a clearer picture than ever, and found that the frequency of the planet's most devastating storms has decreased over the past century.The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that the annual number of global hurricanes, typhoons and tropical storms — or tropical cyclones, more generally — declined by roughly 13% as the planet warmed during the 20th century.
