An author correction has been issued for a Nature article published on November 14, 2018, titled "Anthropogenic influences on major tropical cyclone events." The correction addresses an error in the surname of author Christina M. Patricola-DiRosario, which initially appeared as Patricola. The correction has been implemented in both the HTML and PDF versions of the article.

The original research, authored by Christina M. Patricola-DiRosario and Michael F. Wehner, both affiliated with the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division and the Computational Research Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, investigated the impact of human activities on major tropical cyclone events. The study utilized climate and Earth system modeling to project and predict these influences.

The corrected citation for the article is: Patricola-DiRosario, C.M., Wehner, M.F. Author Correction: Anthropogenic influences on major tropical cyclone events. Nature (2026). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586. This correction does not alter the findings or conclusions of the original study. It solely rectifies a typographical error in the author's name.

Such corrections are standard practice in scientific publishing to ensure accuracy and maintain the integrity of the scientific record. Journals like Nature have established protocols for addressing errors that may arise after publication. These corrections are important for maintaining the credibility of research and ensuring that future citations are accurate.

The research itself contributes to the ongoing scientific discussion regarding the role of anthropogenic climate change in influencing extreme weather events, specifically tropical cyclones. Understanding these influences is crucial for developing effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. The field of climate modeling continues to evolve, incorporating new data and improved computational techniques to refine projections of future climate scenarios.
