Abstract
Potential changes in tropical cyclone activity resulting from greenhouse warming-induced climate changes are considered. Interannual variations in cyclone activity are dominated by southern oscillation effects. Because of the uncertainty of predictions of the southern oscillation and of regional climate by present climate models, no meaningful predictions of changes in Australian region tropical cyclone activity are possible. Cyclone activity is likely to increase in the central South Pacific.
