Focus:
Atlantic Ocean (August, September, October)
Northern Indian Ocean (October, November, and December)
Results: Probability of TC Formation, VPI, RMM, Correlation of TC Formation by VPI index
Figure 1: Average number of storms per pentad focusing on August, September, and October.
Figure 2: Average number of TC’s per MJO Index. Here the MJO is divided into 10 phases using Velocity Potential Anomalies in a Wave 1 pattern.
Figure 3: Average number of TC’s per MJO Phase using Wheeler and Henson’s Real-time MJO Monitor.
Figure 4: Student T-test for significance at the 99th and 90th percentiles, TC formation modulation by the VPI Index.
