 | | The Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation, or ATC, is a density-driven circulation in the Atlantic Basin that undergoes cycles on decadal timescales. |
 | | The North Atlantic Oscillation, or NAO, is the fluctuation in 500 millibar heights in the northern Atlantic, primarily between western Europe, Iceland, and Greenland. |
 | | All four landfalls occurred from hurricanes that originated in the southwest Caribbean Sea in October, a region that is expected to be highly favorable this season due to the lack of an El Nino and a strong ATC. |
