Contrasting Responses of Atlantic and Pacific Tropical Cyclone Activity to Atlantic Multidecadal Variability

Abstract

Klotzbach et al. (2018) found that over the period 1900-2017, the number of landfalling hurricanes in the US was significantly higher (+27%) during an AMV warm phase than that during an AMV cold phase. As such, the AMV-TC linkage provides an important source of multidecadal predictability of TC activity, leading to the widespread use of AMV in TC predictions (K.
