Eventually the temperature of the surface waters of the sea rose, not so fast as the air temperature it is true, but fast enough to produce a dangerous increase of humidity.

最终，海水表面的温度上升，虽然不像空气温度上升那么快，但已经快到足以造成危险的湿度上升。

Even though one or two degree Celsius rise in sea surface temperature for a relatively short amount of time can cause bleaching.

即使海面温度在短时间内升高一到两摄氏度，也可能会引起褪色。

Globally, a rise of 1c in sea surface temperature would increase the occurrence of strong storms by about one third, the researchers calculate.

研究者的统计表明，全球范围内海洋表面温度每升高1c，强风暴的发生就会增加大约三分之一。

This would make them whiter so they reflect more sunlight back into space, reducing the sea surface temperature - which is the primary driver of hurricanes.

But by the Berkeley team's analysis, the global temperature correlates more closely with the state of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) index - a measure of sea surface temperature in the north Atlantic.

Kearns and a team of scientists led by Alan Strong of NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service analyzed sea surface temperature data from the agency's polar-orbiting satellites from 1984 through 1996.
