八十年代至今
from the '80s to recent times,
飓风越来越强的一部分原因
is related1 to sea surface temperature.
与海洋表面温度有关
The reason is that as the temperature goes up,
随着温度的上升
海洋与大气间的
between the ocean and atmosphere also goes up.
热力不平衡也随之加剧
It goes up at a rate that would increase the wind speed
按理说 温差每增加一摄氏度
of hurricanes maybe 7% for every one degree C.
飓风的风速就会上升7%
But we've seen a lot more
但我们观测到半摄氏度
than 7% for half a degree.
就造成了远超7%的效果
So we're trying to understand that.
我们想要找到原因
But he's not just interested in what's happened in the past.
他不仅对过去发生了什么感兴趣
He's trying to get a sense of what the future might be
他还想要知道如果海洋温度继续上升的话
if ocean temperatures continue to rise.
未来会是怎样的情况
If we look at the distribution3 of hurricanes
若要画一张当今气候条件下
in the present climate,
飓风的强度分布图
with weak storms over on this side
这边代表弱风暴
and strong storms over on this side,
那边代表强风暴
