DESCRIPTION: The team will separate multidecadal variability from anthropogenic forcing to model how the two different forcings affect hurricane intensity.

OUTCOMES: Found that 20th century potential intensity changes ere dominated by natural forcings but late 21st the opposite will be true and potential intensity will increase.
