Storm Eunice is likely the most devastating storm in decades. New forecast models predicted it 5 days ago. The same models predict more severe storms over Europe with global warming, with sting jets prominent. @EngineeringNCL @metoffice #StormEunice link.springer.com/article/10.100… Fig 5 shows number of events exceeding wind speeds for hindcast (a), control (b), and future (c) simulations. Proportion of events belonging storm types in each bin indicated by the colour: light blue Shapiro-Keiser cyclones, dark blue: those with sting jets.
