There is a lot of uncertainty about just how strong Halong was, though, since its intensity was estimated purely from satellite data. The best estimates of tropical cyclone strength come from the Hurricane Hunters. Their aircraft fly directly into storms and can make three independent measurements of the winds: with flight-level wind instrumentatio...
Theory suggests that a warming climate should make the strongest tropical cyclones stronger, since hurricanes are heat engines that extract heat energy from the oceans, converting it to kinetic energy in the form of wind. Due to the uncertainties involved with applying the Dvorak technique in regions where we do not have hurricane hunter data, plus...
