The chapter on the effects of climate change on tropical cyclone activity is also new, and appropriate given the recent intense debate on this issue. For the first time, a chapter on seasonal prediction is included.

Chapter 4 Tropical cyclone motion. In Global Perspective on Tropical Cyclones. Fundamental puzzles of climate science remain unsolved because of our limited understanding of how clouds, circulation and climate interact. One example is our inability to provide robust assessments of future global and regional climate changes. However, ongoing advances in our capacity to observe, simulate and conceptualize the climate system now make it possible to fill gaps in our knowledge.

One of the aspects of social change is human impact upon the environment that has contributed to climate change, which may be contributing to a likely increase in the severity and possible increase in the frequency of tropical cyclones (IPCC, 2007).

Tropical cyclones and climate change concerns how tropical cyclones have changed (in number, intensity, track or otherwise), and are expected to further change due to climate change. The topic receives considerable attention from climate scientists who study the connections between storms and climate, and notably since 2005 makes news during active storm seasons.
