Human-Induced Climate Change Complicates Storm Tracking

Caption

This NASA GOES satellite image shows a storm sweeping across the center of the United States on Oct. 26 and 27, 2010. The storm brought strong winds, rain, hail, and widespread tornadoes. A new analysis published this week in Nature Geoscience by the University of Chicago's Tiffany Shaw and others finds that human-induced climate change complicates projecting the future position of such storms.
