Enhanced Efficacy Contributes to Tropical Cyclone Intensification in Warmer Climates via Stronger Storm-Scale Radiative Feedbacks
Tropical cyclones (TCs) are expected to intensify in a warming climate as sea surface temperatures (SSTs) rise. Potential intensity (PI), the thermodynamic upper limit on storm strength, has long been used to assess how environmental conditions constrain TC intensity. However, a storm’s realized strength also depends...
