Tropical Storm Frequencies Related to Sea Surface TemperaturesSource: Journal of Applied Meteorology:;1977:;volume( 016 ):;issue: 005::page 477Author:Wendland, Wayne M.

Abstract: A relationship is identified between the area of the North Atlantic with surface temperatures greater than 26.8°C and the frequency of tropical storms and hurricanes. The relationship is direct and near-exponential. When the mean monthly area with sea temperature of 26.8°C is less than about 8.5 ? 106 km2, tropical storms and hurricanes do not occur. Estimates of tropical storm frequency based on the above relationship are made for several episodes of the Holocene.
