"We estimate EALs [expected annual losses] to the MBTA system have doubled since 2008 to $24.4 M/year and are expected to reach $58 M/year by 2030 under all SLR scenarios. Our results suggest that absent adaptation schemes, particularly at tunnel ingress locations, coastal flood risk will continue to accelerate, potentially resulting in permanent inundation of underground and low-lying sections of the transit system."

"The positive upward trend in the base height of most low-level clouds can be explained by a statistically significant increase in temperature and a decrease in relative air humidity in the lower troposphere."
