Historical Tropical Cyclone Statistics

TC Statistics

Statistics are calculated from best tracks archived in the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS, available online HERE).
In the Southern Hemishphere, tropical cyclone seasons are defined to start on July 1 of the previous year.
For example, the 1980 season ran from July 1, 1979 through June 30, 1980.

CSU Atlantic Multi-Decadal Oscillation (AMO) index

AMO index

In 2008, Phil Klotzbach and Bill Gray published a paper in Journal of Climate discussing a newly-developed Atlantic Multi-Decadal Oscillation index that utilized a combination of two predictors: 1) Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the far North Atlantic from 50-60°N, 50-10°W and 2) sea level pressures (SLPs) in the North Atlantic from 0-50°N, 70-10°W. At present, the index is calculated by weighing the SST component as 60% of the index and the SLP component as the remaining 40%. All values are standardized using the 1981-2010 climatological average as a baseline. Real-time monthly values are calculated from the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis and are typically updated by the 5th of the following month.

Remembering Dr. Bill Gray

In Memory of Dr. William (Bill) Gray

Phil Klotzbach (left) and Bill Gray (right) in January 2014

Dr. Gray passed away on April 16, 2016. He spent over 60 years in the field of meteorology and made vast contributions in the field of tropical cyclone research. Not only was he a phenomenal scientist, he was an excellent advisor to his 80+ graduate students, an amazing mentor and a great friend.
