Tropical Cyclone Intensity Climatology of the North Atlantic Ocean, CaribbeanSea, and Gulf of Mexico

摘要

The objective of this work is to develop a ready reference for the maximumintensity of all tropical cyclones during the period 1886-1996. This has been done by using the BTDF file, updated through 1996, together with additional classifications of weak and strong tropical storms using an extended Saffier-Simpson Scale. The result is a series of tables and figures presenting the data by years, months, etc.
