BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Cyclone risk for East Asia aggravated by warming of western Pacific: Study

January 16, 2014 Reprints

A recent study has said that a warming of water in the western Pacific has led to China, Korea and Japan being placed in the “firing line” of strong tropical cyclones, Agence France-Presse reported.

The study took into account data for some major cyclones in the northwest Pacific region between 1977 and 2010. A lead researcher said that "if the past changes of large-scale environments are evidence, or a result, of global warming, it can be assumed that in the future more catastrophic tropical cyclones will strike East Asia than ever before."
