Tropical Cyclones in a Warming Climate
Caroline Muller
(Professor in Climate Science)
Tropical cyclones are among the most spectacular atmospheric phenomena on our planet. In this talk, we will briefly review their climatology and physics. We will then discuss associated risks, and how global warming is expected to impact tropical cyclones in the coming decades. Finally, we will end with some open questions and ongoing research activities.
