An increase in clear air turbulence then would mean an increase in hurricanes, no?
It means wind shear, which along with land and cold water, are enemies of hurricanes.
Wind shear DOES aid in formation and lifetime of thunderstorms. But not hurricanes. Wind shear kills them quite effectively because it disrupts circulation.
So more air turbulence means fewer and less powerful hurricanes. It's yet another example of the ever-expanding effects of global warming. It's so amazing that it can form more, more powerful and more destreuctive hurricanes even while causing processes that prevent and destroy hurricanes.
Ah. my bad. I took 'jacks up hurricanes' to mean increase them.
You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.
