A storm, even once it has passed, can leave traces in the ocean that last for thousands of years. These consist of sediment layers composed of coarse particles, which are different from the finer ...

An analysis of the mechanisms behind model-projected changes in ocean temperature gives greater confidence in the pattern of tropical warming and its potential impacts. Figure 1: Sea surface ...

They occur in seven tropical ocean basins, above and below the equator. These storms need atmospheric heat. They only form over seas warmer than 27°C, where evaporation rates are high.
