The deadliest aspect of any hurricane including Sandy is the storm surge. Hurricane Sandy broke records by having a storm surge that was measured to be over 4 meters in some cities. Furthermore, global warming has had a direct correlation to the global rise in sea level. Sea levels are 30 centimeters higher than they were a century ago.
Warmer water and air temperature also helped to fuel Sandy’s destruction. The air temperature resulted in a high level of water vapor in the air which resulted in more heavy rain and flooding. There is also evidence that warm temperatures over Greenland forced the storm into the East coast instead of allowing Sandy to continue into the Atlantic, which is the path hurricanes typicaly take due to the jet stream. According to George Stone, a researcher at Milwaukee Area Technical College. “If [Sandy’s] left turn was indeed due to re-distribution of air masses and position of the jet stream, and that in turn was due to Arctic warming, then we might attribute a large part of Sandy to climate change,”
Nick included important details in an effort to explain the extreme destruction of Hurricane Sandy due to global warming. He included good background information as to the details regarding Hurricane Sandy, and helped me learn more about the affects.
The storm surge is good evidence to the fact of global warming’s contribution to the storm; having family from the immediate area, it was quite impressive to see which areas got absolutely obliterated and those that hardly got touched. Very eerie.
The jet stream is also a nice piece of evidence to use; although I do not buy it considering past hurricanes to hit the area. Decent work there!
