Characteristics of landfalling tropical cyclones in the United States and Mexico: Climatology and interannual variability ...
The climatology and interannual variability of landfalling tropical cyclones and their impacts on precipitation in the continental United States and Mexico are examined. The analysis is based on National Hurricane Center 6-hourly tropical cyclone track data for the Atlantic and eastern Pacific basin...
