The latter, of course, is characterized by many short term peaks, dips, and flat intervals, with recent years unexceptional in this regard, but the critical issue is the extent to which multidecadal influences are competing to explain the rise during this time period.

Moreover, 370 years of tropical cyclone data from the Lesser Antilles (the eastern Caribbean island chain that bisects the main development region for landfalling U.S. hurricanes) show no long - term trend in either power or frequency but a 50 - to 70 - year wave pattern associated with the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, a mode of natural climate variability.
