38 Summary Variations of TC activity on climate (interannual or interdecadal) time scales in the western North Pacific, Indian Oceans and the Southern Hemisphere cannot be explained by local SST variations, which suggests that global warming cannot be attributed to the observed TC variability. Dynamic factors (horizontal and vertical shear), which can be forced by remote SST variations such as ENSO or IOD, are mainly responsible for the observed TC variability in these regions. Models must be demonstrated to be capable of simulating variations in these dynamic factors before their predictions can be used to project future TC activity in these regions. 37
