| Summary: | We present a high-resolution quasi-idealized experiment based upon composites from a decades-long set of recurving landfalling (RCL) North Atlantic extratropical transition (ET) cases. Following Jung and Lackmann (2021), we apply the track-based classification method of Colbert and Soden (2012) to the historical database (1979 to 2018) of North Atlantic RCL ET events; recurving landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs) are defined as those which cross 70°W north of 25°N or cross 65W north of 40N and threaten the U.S. East Coast. We use the Atlantic Hurricane Database (HURDAT2) best-track data (Landsea and Franklin 2013); the track-based classification procedure yields 37 RCL ET cases over the 40-year period. To minimize the spread of the selected ET cases in terms of time to complete transition, we apply a threshold of 36 h as in Jung and Lackmann (2021). As HURDAT2 only specifies when transition is complete but does not provide the timeline of the transition, we supplement it with the cyclone phase space (CPS) ... : See Jung and Lackmann (2021, 2023) for details on the creation of this dataset. ... |
