"Global warming is sending sea-surface temperatures up, so we're looking at an increase in hurricane intensity globally," Curry said.
She added that in the North Atlantic Ocean basin—where hurricanes that affect the U.S. form—the number of hurricanes may also increase.

Curry is a co-author of the new study, which appears in tomorrow's issue of the journal Science.
