  1. An Examination of the Effects of Sea-Surface Temperatures on North Atlantic Hurricanes Jacki Kinney Climatology December 6, 2005

  2. Main Development Region

  3. Number of Major Atlantic Hurricanes Goldenberg, et al, 2001

  4. SST Variation Goldenberg, et al, 2001

  5. Webster, et al., 2005

  6. Intense Hurricanes Webster, et al., 2005

  7. Power Dissipation Index Emanuel, 2005

  8. Conclusions • There does seem to be a correlation, in the North Atlantic, between SST and hurricane activity. • It is too early to tell if the variations seen are due to natural variations or human-induced global warming
