Given the destructive rapid intensification of Hurricane Ian, do you believe any of the science as reported in post 5 or any of my other posts in this thread are inaccurate?


If so, what are the inaccuracies?

Default Munich Re climate scientist warns about increased frequency of Ian-like hurricanes

<<Additionally, just a single storm like Ian is enough to cause immense losses. This is not new, of course, but it is important. Because it is precisely hurricanes like Ian – very strong storms with extreme precipitation – that will occur more frequently in the future due to climate change.>>

Hurricane Michael and Hurricane Ian, both making landfall on Florida's Gulf coast WITHIN five years, were 2 of the 9 most powerful hurricanes to make landfall in the U.S. in the last 50 years, according to TIME magazine.


<<
Hurricane Ian devastated southern Florida on Wednesday afternoon when it hit as a Category 4 storm, causing intense flooding and leaving 2.5 million Floridians without power.


While this storm marks the most powerful hurricane seen this season, it makes history as the ninth category 4 or 5 hurricane to hit the mainland U.S. in the last 50 years—six of which have occurred since just 2017.>>

As oceans continue to warm, will "extreme rapid intensification" further increase the vulnerability of Florida's Gulf coast to destructive hurricane landfalls? See post 18.

Ocean heat content set another new record in 2022. Unfortunately, I've never been able to find an historical record of Gulf of Mexico ocean heat content, let alone statistics for the Florida coast.


<<Global ocean heat content (OHC) hit a record high: The upper ocean heat content, which addresses the amount of heat stored in the upper 2,000 meters of the ocean, was record high in 2022, surpassing the previous record set in 2021. The four highest OHCs have all occurred in the last four years (2019-2022).>>
