A group from Nagoya University in Japan has found that larger,
slower-moving typhoons are more likely to be resilient against global
warming. However, compact, faster-moving storms are more likely to be
sensitive. These findings suggest an improved method to project the
strength of typhoons under global warming conditions. Their report was
published in Geophysical Research Letters.
