Cyclones and Cyclogenesis Over North Pacific, North Atlantic, Arctic Ocean, and their Upwind Continents

For determining seasonal and annual variations of cyclone activities in the northern hemisphere, over 500 cyclones in NMC and Japanese surface maps were examined and their 6-hourly parameters were determined for generating the Northern Hemisphere Cyclone Tape. The cyclone tape, covering a five year...

Description
Summary:For determining seasonal and annual variations of cyclone activities in the northern hemisphere, over 500 cyclones in NMC and Japanese surface maps were examined and their 6-hourly parameters were determined for generating the Northern Hemisphere Cyclone Tape. The cyclone tape, covering a five year period, June 1981 - May 1986 was generated under this contract. Produced from this tape are five Volumes of annual reports showing monthly, seasonal, and annual distributions of cyclone parameters depicted by red-colored cyclone parameters superimposed upon green-colored base maps.
