University of South Florida (via Public) Study finds . . . Study finds ‘pressure point’ in the Gulf could drive hurricane strength Carlyn Scott, College of Marine Science Driven by high temperatures in the Gulf, Hurricane Ian rapidly intensified from a Category 3 to Category 5 before making landfall in Southwest Florida on September 28, 2022
How rivers fuel hurricanes — and how that knowledge can . . . A recent analysis of Hurricane Idalia led by researchers at the USF College of Marine Science demonstrates how an extensive river plume in the Gulf may have influenced the tropical storm’s rapid intensification
Good Question: Could Gulf of Mexico hurricanes become even . . . A new study just out from climate scientists says the Gulf Coast could become a hot spot for stronger tropical storms and hurricanes in the future because of soaring ocean temperatures caused by climate change
2025 Hurricane Season May Be Intense Again, But the Science . . . Can you explain how warmer water intensifies hurricanes and what impact even small temperature changes can have on storm strength? A: Warmer ocean water intensifies hurricanes by supplying energy and moisture Even small SST increases boost evaporation, fueling stronger storms
