Abstract: To define spatial and temporal variations in annual cyclone frequencies, principal components were calculated from a matrix of annual frequencies for 74 grid cells covering eastern North America and the western North ...

Abstract: Meteorological data extracted from maps and charts is frequently normalized for area because grid cell size changes with latitude. Raw and area-normalized cyclone frequency data were compared. Area normalization deforms ...

Abstract: Winter and summer half-year cyclone frequencies for eastern North America and the western North Atlantic were tabulated for 2.5° latitude by 5° longitude grid cells for the years 1885?1980. Correlation matrix eigenvectors ...

Abstract: An increase in storm damage along the east coast of the United States coincides with secular variations of the general circulation documented by several recent investigations. To determine the coupling between large-scale ...

Abstract: Ring widths from trees on certain sites reflect climatic variation. Therefore, long time series derived from replicated and precisely dated ring-width chronologies may be utilized to extend climatic records into prehistoric ...

Abstract: The semipermanent subtropical anticyclone over the North Atlantic basin (the ?Azores high?) has a major influence on the weather and climate of much of North America, western Europe, and northwestern Africa. The authors ...

Abstract: The geographical and monthly frequencies of 500 mb cyclones and anticyclones in the National Meteorological Center analyses over the western half of the Northern Hemisphere are investigated for the period 1950?85. These ...
