 RIGZONE - Active 2006 Atlantic Hurricane Season to Be Less Busy than in 2005
While the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season is still expected to be "very active," the good news is it is not expected to rival the ferocity of last year's record-setting season, according to Colorado State University's Tropical Meteorology Project (TMP), headed up by respected researchers Philip J. Klotzbach and William M. Gray.
Reiterating their position on global warming's affect on hurricane activity, Klotzbach and Gray said that despite the global warming of the sea surface of about 0.5 degrees Celsius that has taken place over the last three decades, global numbers of hurricanes and their intensity have not shown increases in recent years except for the Atlantic.
Looking at the active Atlantic hurricane years of 2004 and 2005, the forecasters said "it is rare" to have two consecutive years with such a strong simultaneous combination of high amounts of major hurricane activity together with especially favorable steering flow currents.
