		Seasonally, the gulf surges and the latitudinal position of the midtropospheric subtropical ridge over southwestern North America appear to be responsible for much spatial and temporal variability in precipitation.
		Tropical and North Pacific SSTs are related to the occurrence of the Pacific Transition and East Pacific teleconnection patterns, respectively, in June and July.
		The seasonal changes in the other hydrological parameters (evaporation and soil moisture) simulated by the model for the doubled CO sub(2) atmosphere are also discussed.

	SUMMARY OF 2000 ATLANTIC TROPICAL CYCLONE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The number of Atlantic basin hurricanes per season in recent years has ranged as high as 12 (as in 1969), 11 (as in 1950 and 1995), 10 (as in 1998), and as low as 2 (as in 1982) and 3 (as in 1997, 1994, 1987, 1983, 1972, 1962, 1957).
		At the height of the 2000 season (in September), 50 mb QBO wind anomalies were westerly but were easterly at 30 mb, this increased the wind shear between the two levels.
		Note that the observed seasonal tropical cyclone parameters for 2000 were generally similar to the average of the five analog years excepting western African rainfall.

		Typhoon Mitag, that two years ago I thought was mighty scary, was nothing in comparison.
		Sudal was not classified as a super typhoon (and I don't know if it was ever officially "upgraded"), but the opinion of everyone here--even people with first hand experience of serious US hurricane damage--is clear: this was, by far, the worst anyone has ever even heard of.
		But it was a remarkable display of typhoon power, I remember it flashing through my head that "this is some kind of special effects trick," to see a falling huge tree like that change direction in mid-fall.

		Records of storms off the west coast of Mexico (the Eastern North Pacific Basin) are shorter than they are for other basins and, before 1949, the records are so fragmented that they are of little use in climatological analysis.
		Although the tropical cyclone season for Mexico is considered to extend from June through October, Table IV-2 shows that La Paz/Pichilingue's season extends from June through November.
		A notable weather phenomenon that occurs occasionally during the summer hurricane season is a "Torito." These strong southerly squalls can exist and reach 45-50 kt sustained winds for ½ to 1 hour in duration.

		Gregory Peck does a commendable job as Captain Ahab, who is bent on revenge at killing the whale that took his leg and, for him, represents a sinister force of Nature.
		During another scene, Ahab sees the vessel illuminated when a typhoon hits it, and he sees this as a "sign" that he will have success in his voyage.
