Summary
Tropical cyclones are significant natural hazards that cause economic losses and loss of life through extreme winds and flooding, as evidenced most recently by the impacts of Hurricane Helene in 2024. While it is well-known that El Niño, a transient warming of the Pacific Ocean relative to other areas on Earth, typically suppresses Atlantic hurricane activity, it remains unclear if a long-term warming of the Pacific Ocean, relative to other areas on Earth, will have the same effect. This project seeks to bridge that knowledge gap and provide critical insights that will improve long-term hazard
