Tropical cyclones have blown through East Asia more and more in the last 30 years a study released Thursday reported.
"Noticeable increases of greenhouse gases over the globe could influence rising sea surface temperature and change large-scale atmospheric circulation in the western North Pacific, which could enhance the intensity of tropical cyclones hitting land over East Asia," Chang-Hoi Ho a professor at Seoul National University said in a statement.
Cyclones have strengthened along China, Korea, and Japan waters due to higher temperatures, and fluctuations to circulation patterns in the atmosphere a press release reported.
The fluctuations dictated that cyclones tend to travel on sea shores starting with the South China Sea, and their way north the press release reported.
The cyclones reportedly gained enormous traction by the time they reached Asia's north-east waters the press release reported.
"If the past changes of large-scale environments are evidence or a result of global warming, it can be assumed that, in the future, more catastrophic tropical cyclones will strike East Asia than ever before," Hoi-Ho said in the statement. "The next stage of our research is to use climate models to predict future tropical cyclone landfall intensity in these regions," Hoi-Ho said in the statement.
South-east Asia countries, Taiwan and Vietnam did not have any significant changes regarding the storm system's strength the press release reported. Scientists discovered cyclones formed very near land along the South China Sea in order to collect strength to obtain the best power it could the press release reported. Trade winds from the Walker circulation were also attributed the press release reported.
Scientists printed the study in IOP Publishing's journal Environmental Research Letters the press release reported.
Scientists looked at five pieces of information related to how tropical cyclones came to be throughout the Pacific north-west between 1977 and 2010 the press release reported.
