Abstract: In this presentation I will
discuss some recent activities at the CHC which have some relationship to
interests/projects at the NHC. Specifically, I will discuss the
use of the "post-tropical"
terminology in the Canadian
forecast bulletins; storm surge forecasting/warnings during tropical events; and
track-relative forecast error distributions. Finally I will
summarize the most recent work on experimental probabilistic wind swath
forecast graphics, which entail the blending storm-only wind swaths with
dynamical ensemble-based wind probability fields.

"The
Atlantic Ocean Thermohaline Circulation (THC) and Its Dominant
Influence on Atlantic Major Hurricane"

University, Fort
Collins, CO ABSTRACT:"The
Atlantic undergoes large multi-decadal variations in major hurricane
frequency. These changes are important because it has been
extablished
that major hurricanes (~20 percent of named storms) account
for
about 80-85 percent of the US's normalized
(population, inflation, wealth) hurricane destruction.
These multi-decadal changes in major hurricane
activity are
hypothesized to reslt from multi-decadal
variations in Atlantic
Thermohaline Circulation (THC) or the AMO as it is sometimes
referred to. This oscillatiion is hypothesized to be
primarily driven by Atlantic salinity variations - the so called
salt oscilation. It will be shown how Atlantic SSTs,
SLPAs,
trade winds and 200 mb zonal
winds, and Atlantic surface salinity patterns respond in a systematic
manner to these THC variations. The large increase
in Atlantic basin major hurricane frequency
of the last 13 years is due to the THC becoming much stronger
than it was
during the period of 1970-1994. This increase should not be
intepreted as having anything to do with atmospheric
CO2 increases."
