Simultaneous Linear Quantile Regression: A Semiparametric Bayesian Approach (2012, methodology): “It is, however, interesting that the estimated values of sτ , τ ∈ (0, 1) from our analysis are very similar to those found by the classical, separate τ quantile regression analysis as used in Elsner et al. (2008).”
Climate‐induced resource bottlenecks exacerbate species vulnerability: a review (2015, background): “More extreme destructive weather Although there is uncertainty regarding whether events such as cyclones are likely to become more frequent, storm intensity is highly likely to increase, and tropical cyclones may occur further poleward (Elsner et al., 2008; IPCC, 2012).”
A trend analysis of normalized insured damage from natural disasters (2012, result): “…heavy precipitation events (IPCC 2007a: 315; Peterson et al. 2008) and in tropical storm and hurricane intensities and durations (IPCC 2007a, b: 315; Elsner et al. 2008) as well as, possibly, in hurricane frequency (Karl et al. 2008: 35) in North America, consistent with our finding of positive…”
Effects of Tropical Cyclones on Ocean Heat Transport in a High-Resolution Coupled General Circulation Model (2011, background): “The possible changes of TC intensity, due to global climate warming, have been deeply investigated during the past years (e.g., Walsh and Ryan 2000; Knutson et al. 2001; Webster et al. 2005; Trenberth 2005; Emanuel 2005; Oouchi et al. 2006; Vecchi and Soden 2007a,c; Elsner et al. 2008; Emanuel et al”
Global Warming Effects on U.S. Hurricane Damage (2011, background): “There is already evidence that the fraction of high-intensity storms is indeed increasing (Webster et al. 2005; Elsner et al. 2008), although the global total number of tropical cyclones has not so far exhibited any significant trend (Emanuel 2005).”
Climate change effects on biodiversity, ecosystems, ecosystem services, and natural resource management in the United States. (2020, background): “In the North Atlantic, storms are getting stronger due to rising ocean temperatures and sea level rise (Elsner et al., 2008; Malmstadt et al., 2010).”
Heteroscedasticity and Autocorrelation Robust Structural Change Detection (2013, background): “Among others, Elsner, Kossin, and Jagger (2008) found that the strongest tropical cyclones are getting stronger globally over the last three decades, while the mean cyclone strength remains constant.”
The local impact of typhoons on economic activity in China: A view from outer space (2015, background): “…global warming will result in more numerous or more intense typhoons in the future increases the need for policymakers to gain a better understanding of the current relationship between typhoons and economic costs (Webster et al. 2005, Landsea et al. 2006, Elsner et al. 2008 and Li et al. 2010).”
