Summary	Approximately 50% of Americans now live within 50 miles of a coastline, thus exposing them to the potential destruction caused by a landfalling hurricane. While hurricane track prediction has improved in recent decades, improvements in hurricane intensity prediction have lagged, foremost as a result of a poor understanding of the processes that underlie hurricane intensity change in the Atlantic Ocean basin.
