A new study led by Dr. Cao Xi, Associate Professor at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has uncovered a significant southward shift in the formation of hurricanes over the North Atlantic Ocean. This shift, observed since 1979, is linked to changes in wind patterns and warming trends, raising concerns about increased disaster risks for low-latitude island nations and North American coastal areas. The research is published in the journal npj Climate and Atmospheric Science.
