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。

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.
