Sarah C. Jones,Patrick A. Harr,Jim Abraham,Lance F. Bosart,Peter J. Bowyer,Jenni L. Evans,Deborah E. Hanley,Barry N. Hanstrum,Robert E. Hart,François Lalaurette,Mark R. Sinclair,Robert K. Smith,Chris D. Thorncroft +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the challenges associated with forecasting extratropical transition are described in terms of the forecast variables (track, intensity, surface winds, precipitation) and their impacts (flooding, bush fires, ocean response).

TL;DR: In this article, the variability of results from different automated methods of detection and tracking of extratropical cyclones is assessed in order to identify uncertainties related to the choice of method.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Objective Cyclone Climatology for the Southern Hemisphere
TL;DR: In this paper, an objective method is developed and used to derive a climatology of centers of cyclonic vorticity for the Southern Hemisphere, based on twice-daily European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) 1000-hPa analyses during 1980-86.

Journal ArticleDOI
Objective Identification of Cyclones and Their Circulation Intensity, and Climatology
TL;DR: In this paper, an updated procedure for objective identification and tracking of surface cyclones from gridded analyses is described, where prior smoothing of the raw data with a constant radius spatial filter is used to remove distortions related to the particular grid configuration used and to consistently admit a known scale of disturbance over the domain.
