	CENTER FOR OCEAN-ATMOSPHERIC PREDICTION STUDIES
		In this paper, hurricane landfall probabilities are calculated for Florida and the East Coast separately and the regional impact of ENSO in the U.S. is evaluated.
		The lack of difference in cold and neutral hurricane landfalls in Florida as compared to the difference observed along the East Coast is due to a decrease in East Coast hurricane landfalls during neutral events rather than a decrease in Florida hurricane landfalls during cold events.
		Using this method, 23 of the hurricane seasons in the 99-year period are classified as cold events, 22 are designated warm events, and 54 are categorized as neutral.

	Current and Historic Atlantic Tropical Storms and Hurricanes
		As of 3 April 2007, we are now calling for a very active hurricane season, with a 74% probability for at least one major (category 3-4-5) hurricane landfall on the U.S. coastline, 17 named storms 9 hurricanes and 5 intense hurricanes.
		Hurricane winds blow in a large spiral around a relatively calm center known as the "eye." The "eye" is generally 20 to 30 miles wide, and the storm may have a diameter of 400 miles across.
		Hurricanes and tropical storms often drop large amounts of rainfall and cause severe flooding, even when they are weakening or are no longer a named storm.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		We foresee an above-average hurricane season for the Atlantic basin in 2005.
		Thus, based on this analysis, we expect 2005 to be an active hurricane season and in line with the average of eight of the last ten years (1995, 1996; 1998-2001; 2003, 2004).
		We attribute the heightened Atlantic major hurricane activity of 2004 season as well as the increased Atlantic major hurricane activity of the previous nine years to be a consequence of the multidecadal fluctuations in the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation (THC) as we have been discussing in our Atlantic basin seasonal hurricane forecasts for several years.

		The central Pacific anomaly is generally the reverse of that in the tropical Atlantic, which appears to be in the midst of a long interval of enhanced tropical storm activity.
		The moon is usually the most red (and dimmest) right at the horizon on a summer evening, where the light's path through the atmosphere is the longest and the gunk is the densest, while a moon overhead on a cold, clear winter night seems nearly unaffected.
		The (very) basic explanation is that hurricanes form over tropical waters where sea surface temperatures are warm, humidity is high, pressure is relatively low, and winds throughout the depth of the troposphere (the active weather part of the atmosphere) aren't too strongly varying.
