But, is this good news? To me, it is, but it isn't. While storms rush the adrenaline through me, I love them, but they scare the crap out of me also.

Associate Professer David Nolan & researcher Eric Rappin have developed the new computer model for for evaluating hurricane frequency and formation in present, & future tropical climates.

"We designed the computer simulations to show that as the ocean temperature increased, hurricanes would form more rapidly and easily, even in the presence of wind shear," said Nolan. "Instead, we got exactly the opposite result. As the water temperature increased, the effectiveness of the wind shear in suppressing hurricane formation actually became greater."

The study that included Professor Kerry Emanuel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology had been reported in the July issue of the magazine - Geophysical Research Letters.
