next, all the buyer for james elsner says ocean warmth is making hurricanes stronger and tornadoes are coming in with a more powerful punch. he spoke at the florida state university coastal and marine lab in mid july. >> thanks a lot felicia, that was, actually i wear more than one hat also. i think of myself as a scientist, really. but if you do science for a long enough time , it puts you in positions like being the chair of a department itself. it's not something you seek out but it's something that happens because you do a lot of science so i like to think of myself as a person who just focuses on one thing. actually, it's two things. it's hurricanes and tornadoes so i focus on two things but they are really connected in that they are these violent windstorms that cause lots of damage and casualties and so we have to to think about what might happen in the future. so really, what i do and this is this idea of wearing one hat.i spend all of my time thinking about what hurricanes and what tornadoes might be like in the future. so you're going to see a lot of science today in the sens

you may get a lot of opinions or bickering so how does james elsner spent his days with this problem? i put the theory together with the model and i try to combine these. so now we'll talk about statistics as the theory to get some answers what hurricanes might be like in the future. and probably are not businesses store statistician's but these are the structures on which we can hang our hats so we will start with some of the dynamics like popular mechanics basically describes how a hurricane operates and just keep in mind first bin and up and out. that is the circulation of a hurricane they were not aware of you think of them as spinning the that will produce a surge in fled your house is the of in, up, out and with those prepositions i have done my job. coming in at low levels along the ocean surface and then rises in the center of the hurricane also those thunderstorms surrounding the hurricane so it takes is a heap at high temperatures to exhaust the heat at much lower temperatures. it is exactly opposite of a refrigerator. so this is what we call the heat engine. these three pro

james elsner says the increasing ocean warmth is making hurricanes stronger and tornadoes have a more powerful punch. he discussed the future of storms. his speech is one hour. >> thank you. i only wear one hat also. i really think of myself as a scientist. that's all i do. if you do science for a long enough time, they put you in positions like being the chair of the department so it's not something that you seek out, but it's something that happens be to yo because you do a lot of science. i like to think of myself as a person who just focuses on one thing. actually it's two things. it's hurricanes and tornadoes. i focus on two things, but there really connected in that they are these violent wind storms that caused lots of damage and casualties and we have to think about what might happen in the future. really, what i do, this is this idea of wearing one hat. i spent all of my time thinking about what hurricanes and tornadoes might be like in the future. you will see a lot of graphs today. that's the way we make comparisons. science is about comparing this with that. that is the wi

author and geographer james elsner says increasing ocean warmth is making hurricanes stronger and that tornadoes are becoming stronger and more frequent. from florida state university, this is just over an hour. >> hello, thanks a lot. actually, i only wear one hat, also. i really think of myself as a scientist. really, that is all i do. but if you do science for a long enough time, they put you in positions like being the chair of a department. so it is not something that you seek out, but it is something that happens because you do a lot of science. so i like to think of myself as a person who just focuses on one thing. actually, two things, hurricanes and tornadoes. i focus on two things, but they are connected in that they are these violent windstorms that cause lots of damage and casualties. so we have to think about what might happen in the future. what i do, and this is this idea of just wearing one hat, i spend all of my time thinking about what hurricanes and what tornadoes might be like in the future. so you are going to see a lot of science today in the sense that you are go
