Researchers say the staggering force of sea tempests, for example, Harvey is predictable with a dangerous atmospheric devation patterns - rising oceans, warming seas, more sultry air - and caution of "greater and more grounded" tempests to come.

Here are their responses to inquiries regarding the connection between environmental change and the typhoons referred to differently around the globe as violent winds, sea tempests and storms.

  • Does warming bring more typhoon rain? -

"The uncommonness of sea tempests, combined with the trouble of estimating precipitation, makes this very tricky. Harvey's precipitation close Houston is more similar to a thousand year occasion. In any case, we anticipate that tropical storm precipitation will increment generously this century as a result of warming seas and environment." Kerry Emanuel, Professor of Atmospheric Science, MIT

"A consistent result of an unnatural weather change is a worldwide increment of outrageous precipitation occasions. On account of Harvey, it is the overwhelming precipitation - and the subsequent flooding - which is the best risk. A worldwide increment of day by day precipitation records is without a doubt found in the precipitation perceptions. This pattern will proceed as long as we keep pushing up worldwide temperatures by radiating ozone depleting substances." Stefan Rahmstorf, Co-seat, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research

"At the point when storms like this one move inland, they tend to vanish. Notwithstanding, waiting close to the drift, Hurricane Harvey kept up a solid vitality supply and has possessed the capacity to keep getting dampness and dumping it over land through supported and extreme precipitation." Richard Allan, Professor of Climate Processes, University of Reading

Is the poleward move of violent winds critical?

"In the poleward movement we see an unequivocal atmosphere flag that matches our desires... We imagine that as the century advances, puts that are on the poleward edges of tropical storm zones (for instance, Japan and New England) may encounter more continuous and more exceptional sea tempests." Kerry Emanuel

"The poleward float - 53 kilometers (33 miles) every decade in the northern half of the globe, and 62 km (39 miles) in the southern - is exceptionally important to society - apparently as much as changes in power. Spots that are more acquainted with these tempests and are better arranged for them may see less presentation, however puts that are less very much arranged may see more." James Kossin, researcher, US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Center for Weather and Climate

Harvey: deviation or harbinger?

"The two most significant parts of Harvey are the fast increase - supported by the warmth in the sea, some of which is because of a worldwide temperature alteration - before landfall, and the slowing down finished land." James Elsner, environmental researcher, Florida State University

"Harvey is unordinary in light of the fact that it kept on fortifying in the Gulf of Mexico until the point when it made landfall... It is likewise surprising on the grounds that the twirling twists in a tropical typhoon ordinarily raise cooler waters from beneath, which influences a stationary tropical violent wind to rot rapidly - however this did not occur." Brian Hoskins, Chair of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change at Imperial College London

"When we assemble a city or construct a dam, we should comprehend and manage conceivable weakness to flooding by then... Tropical storm Harvey shockingly appears once more how many years of improvement and legislative issues, which don't factor in ecological extremes, at that point causes a fiasco." Dr Ilan Kelman, Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction, University College London

Will violent winds change later on?

"We expect that Category 3, 4, and 5 tempests will turn out to be more successive all around as the atmosphere warms. Be that as it may, this will shift from place to put. A few spots may even observe an abatement." Kerry Emmanuel

"The most grounded tropical storms will get more grounded as the oceans keep on heating. Per-storm misfortunes of life and property will rise. James Elsner

"Regardless of whether we can credit Harvey to a dangerous atmospheric devation - as with any individual climate occasion - is a flawed recommendation. However, it is likely that numerous more tempests like Harvey and Katrina and greater ones yet are headed." Jeffrey Kargel, teacher, University of Arizona
