Tropical cyclogenesis in a tropical wave critical layer: easterly waves (2008, background): “For this reason, wind shear is inimical to genesis” (fromDivine Wind: The History and Science of Hurricanesby Kerry Emanuel, 2005, p. 97).”
Abiotic and biotic drivers of seedling survival in a hurricane‐impacted tropical forest (2009, background): “Increases in the intensity and frequency of hurricanes are predicted for the Caribbean as a result of global climate change (Emanuel 2005; Webster et al 2005; Holland & Webster 2007).”
The political economy of natural disaster damage (2014, background): “Wind speed is typically seen as causing damage as a function of its cubed magnitude (Emanuel, 2005; Schmidt et al., 2009).”
Coupled Human and Natural Systems (2007, background): “Hurricane intensity has increased in the past three decades in both the Atlantic and Pacific, coincident with warming of the sea surface significantly associated with human forces (89, 90).”
Dependence of US hurricane economic loss on maximum wind speed and storm size (2014, methodology): “The dependence on the storm size is consistent with the expectation that the potential destructiveness of a storm is proportional to the area of the tropical-storm force winds (Emanuel 2005, Kantha 2006).”
Strategies to adapt to an uncertain climate change (2008, background): “Hurricanes are a good example of this situation, where observations cannot provide the required information: does the current high-activity level in the North Atlantic arise from climate change, as proposed by Emanuel (2005) and Webster et al.”
Dynamic interactions of life and its landscape: feedbacks at the interface of geomorphology and ecology (2010, background): “…(Vitousek et al., 1997; Zakri1, 2008), changes in biogeochemical cycling (Piao et al., 2008), disease epidemics (Pounds et al., 2006) and direct changes in physical processes through increased storm activity (Emanuel, 2005), fl ooding (Milly et al., 2002) and drought (Seager et al., 2007).”
Geophysical Applications of Partial Wavelet Coherence and Multiple Wavelet Coherence (2012, methodology): “Moreover, a Matlab software package for these techniques is developed, which also includes modified software [based on the program of Torrence and Compo (1998) andGrinsted et al. (2004)] that rectified the bias in the wavelet power spectrum (WPS) and wavelet crossspectrum (Liu et al.”
Climate change and Australian marine life (2007, background): “This general reduction in rainfall may be offset by an increase in the frequency of intense storms (Emanuel 2005, Webster et al. 2005), which will increase rainfall intensity and the associated runoff of freshwater and suspended sediments.”
Climate Impacts on Energy Systems: Key Issues for Energy Sector Adaptation (2011, background): “She notes that according to some studies (Emanuel, 2005; Webster et al., 2005), the current high activity level in the North Atlantic arises from climate change, whereas others such as Landsea (2005) argue that it arises from multi-decadal variability.”
Dangerous human-made interference with climate: a GISS modelE study (2006, background): “Some measures of Atlantic hurricane intensity and duration increased in recent years, raising concern that global warming may be a factor in this trend (Bell et al., 2005; Webster et al., 2005; Emanuel, 2005).”
Corporate Philanthropic Giving, Advertising Intensity, and Industry Competition Level (2010, background): “Research indicates that climate-related natural disasters such as hurricanes will likely increase (Emanuel, 2005; Webster et al., 2005), and the aggregate social and economic costs of such events have been rising steadily since the 1960s (Muller and Whiteman, 2009).”
Global Catastrophic Risks (2008, background): “6 There is evidence thatglobal warming is responsible in partatleastfor the increasing intensity of hurricanes (Emanuel, 2005; Trenberth, 2005).”
