Tropical cyclone climatology change greatly exacerbates US extreme rainfall–surge hazard

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 03 February 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-021-01272-7

Changes to tropical cyclones will increase the risk to US coastlines. Under a high-emissions scenario, the joint hazards of extreme rainfall and storm tides increase, with the largest contribution being from increasing cyclone intensity and decreasing translation speed, rather than sea-level rise.
