The role of Atlantic overturning circulation in the recent decline of Atlantic major hurricane frequency

The reason for the decline in frequency of Atlantic major hurricanes since 2005 is still debated. Here the authors combine observations with model simulations to show that this decline is largely due to changes in the Atlantic ocean meridional overturning circulation.
