No society lies nearer to the cyclonic path of the forces of world change than the United States, and few societies are more intellectually aware of the nature of the issues that have to be faced.

Storm Severity

Describe potential damage; cyclonic often precedes terms like 'devastation' or 'destruction'.

Catastrophic Impact

Often found in weather forecasts and reports describing extreme conditions.

Dynamic Action

 93 percent of the extra heat is absorbed in the oceans, and the ocean temperatures are reaching record levels as well. And that means more water vapor comes off the oceans, and the warmer ocean temperature makes the cyclonic storms, like hurricanes and typhoons much stronger.

 helping science understand how the atmosphere as a system is responding to those subtle changes in chemistry combining that data with information coming from satellites we can see a disturbing trend in the behavior of these cyclonic storms
