I feel like most people probably only have this one through the fact that it’s bundled with Comcast lol. I haven’t checked their catalog but I think they have quite a few original shows like the office, parks and rec, 30 rock etc so maybe someone who likes tv sitcoms might be into it

In general, measurements like that of ocean temperature are sea surface temperature. However, the ocean mixed layer (can vary between 10-100 metres) can be typically uniform in temperature and salinity

Of course there’s cycles but even removing decadal trends, it seems like there’s there’s still an increasing trend in terms of intensity. And slower years of extreme events in there could be somewhat related to the climate hiatus period but I’m not 100% on that. And you’re absolutely right that prediction and modeling has gotten substantially better but that doesn’t mean these storms won’t still be costly. It’s an interesting issue for sure

You’re right about this. There’s also been studies done recently that suggest that hurricanes have been intensifying generally in recent years and there will most likely be a continued trend so total frequency will go down but more intense hurricanes will become more common.
