Over coming decades, atmospheric pollution and the greenhouse effect are expected to heat not just the air but also the surface of the oceans, and it is the thermal energy of that water that fuels typhoons and hurricanes. As a rule of thumb, according to Emanuel, wind speeds increase 5 m.p.h. for every additional degree Fahrenheit of water temperature. By that formula, sustained winds in future hurricanes could conceivably...
...that Camille managed to grow so powerful? One reason, says Emanuel, is the path that Camille chose. She (in those days all hurricanes were of the feminine persuasion) faithfully followed the meanderings of the "loop current," a tributary of the Gulf Stream. It wasn't that the loop current was any warmer than the surrounding water at the surface, notes Emanuel, but its warmth went much deeper. Result: Camille's winds stirred up warm water as opposed to cold, and thus retained their strength...
