(choose chapter or problem)

3637 concern studies which indicate that as carbon dioxide (CO2) levels rise, hurricanes will become more intense.3 Hurricane intensity is measured in terms of the minimum central pressure P (in mb): the lower the pressure, the more powerful the storm. Since warm ocean waters fuel hurricanes, P is a decreasing function of H, sea surface temperature in C. Let P = n(H) be the hurricane-intensity function for present-day CO2 levels, and let P = N(H) be the hurricane-intensity function for future projected CO2 levels. If H0 is the average temperature in the Caribbean Sea, what do the following quantities tell you about hurricane intensity?N(H0) n(H0)
