Observed and Projected Sea Surface Temperature Change: Atlantic Hurricane Formation Region
Observed (black) and projected temperatures (blue = lower scenario; red = higher scenario) in the Atlantic hurricane formation region. Increased intensity of hurricanes is linked to rising sea surface temperatures in the region of the ocean where hurricanes form. The shaded areas show the likely ranges while the lines show the central projections from a set of climate models. Image Reference: CMIP3-A1
