Heavy storms will appear more and more

New research published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters warned engineers and infrastructure planners, including the system of dykes, dams, about the risk of more and more rain and storms with the power to destroy the dams.

According to this study, it is the increase in humidity due to warming of air and ocean, which will increase the frequency and severity of storms , potentially destroying dams, causing floods, accompanying countless human and one's losses. In particular, as of the end of the century, the frequency and intensity of storms increase.

Based on the results of previous studies, this study has found that large storms are emerging in many parts of the world and that global warming is increasing major floods, similar to the historic flood in England and Wales nearly 13 years ago.

According to the study, among the three important factors that can push rainfall to the highest level (total humidity or total amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, vertical movement of air and horizontal movement of the wind ), The only factor likely to change significantly in the context of current warming is the maximum humidity of the air.

More significantly, the change in temperature and humidity depends in part on the speed and total amount of greenhouse gas emissions reductions of countries around the world. In other words, our human beings can completely contribute to saving our own future from the extreme happenings of the weather.
