Climate change impacts in Latin America and the Caribbean and their implications for development (2017, background): “2011, 2012) or an increase in frequency of tropical cyclones (particularly large near the coast of southeast Mexico) (Emanuel 2013).”
Review of Aerosol–Cloud Interactions: Mechanisms, Significance, and Challenges (2016, background): “The frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones (TCs) are regulated by several environmental factors, such as sea surface temperature (SST), vertical wind shear, vorticity, and humidity of the free troposphere (Emanuel 2013).”
Tipping elements and climate–economic shocks: Pathways toward integrated assessment (2016, background): “Moreover, some studies indicate a regional or global increase in the number and intensity of tropical cyclones with climate change, which would make large shocks more frequent [Emanuel, 2013; Knutson et al., 2013].”
