According to the latest research conducted by the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology, as a result of global warming the cyclonic effects of tornado can become more intense. Though it has been observed in past few years there has been steady decline in the number of such storms but particularly, in the North Atlantic Region storms are expected to intensify.
The study revealed perceptible connection between change in climate and increase in thunderstorm intensity and force. This research has gained attention from all over the globe, as the present concern of all the nations is fighting global warming and its detrimental effects on the entire humanity. An article related with this had appeared few weeks before the New Orleans region got submerged due to hurricane Katrina and it got noticed on account of the twister.
This new research independently corroborates earlier theories and results with a different approach. The previous records were based on the analysis of the past hurricanes. These records showed that the intensity and power of these storms had doubled in the last 30 years.
The latest work though had a more theoretical approach, which they had deducted form the past records. In the new method, the researchers had made use of computer stimulations also known as Global Circulation Models. These models formed the basis and extension of future climatic changes. The results were strong and independent and the analysis comes with unswerving result.
Across the globe both these methods have produced the same results and have shown increase in strength and power and duration of these tornados. The increase in temperature is also one of the reasons for recent hurricanes. The computer models clearly support this. The conclusion also emerged in the American Metrological Society.
