Hurricanes: The Atlantic Coast

The research conducted is primarily a study of controllable factors for hurricane intensity in the North Atlantic coast through a data analysis of sea surface temperature (SST) and power dissipation index. SST allows us to identify pollution productivity and extreme weather events. Air pollution has proven to be a significant cause for climate events because of the aerosols distribution and its effect in the North Atlantic region. Although aerosol can prevent overheating the ocean the overall use of aerosols is negative considering the increase of natural disasters it causes meaning that they contribute to a hurricane's power dissipation index (PDI). The amount of energy in the air by aerosols causes the SST to change drastically affecting its surroundings. The data reveals that average sea surface temperatures, and PDI over the course of ten years, have a correlation with El Nino.
