The variability of storm track characteristics is studied in terms of polar lows in the North Atlantic and extratropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere by detection and tracking algorithms. Two different cyclone-tracking algorithms to detect North Atlantic polar lows, which are very intense mes...
