Presented by Norman Shippee at the American Meteorological Society's 97th Annual Meeting in January, 2017: CanSIPS reproduces the overall spatial pattern of
cyclone track density found in ERA - Interim.
Not exact matches
Moderate to strong correlation between CanSIPS mean storm
track density and ERA - Interim
track density are found across the primary storm
track in the North Pacific and in the primary formation regions for Atlantic
cyclones affecting North America (Gulf of Mexico and Cape Hatteras) Most CanSIPS bias in the North Pacific is centralized in the exit regions of the Pacific storm
track, localized to Gulf of Alaska and coastal BC.
Together, the lightning and microwave data can
track a range of parameters, including intensity changes in tropical
cyclones; past research has shown that intensity changes are related to the
density of lightning strokes [e.g., Solorzano et al., 2008; DeMaria et al., 2012].
In contrast to strong sea surface temperature control on basin counts, unpredictable internal variability in
track density is strong over the Gulf Coast and US East Coast - indicating that prediction of regional
cyclone activity, especially landfall hurricanes, is challenging.
