	2001 Atlantic hurricane season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 2001 Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, 2001, and lasted until November 30, 2001.
		This was the second year of a two-season stretch with no landfalling hurricanes in the United States, which is highly unusual; the previous instance involved the 1981 and 1982 hurricane seasons.
		Hurricane Michelle was a powerful storm that was first named on November 1st near Cabo Gracias, Nicaragua.

	2001 Pacific hurricane season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 2001 Pacific hurricane season officially started May 15, 2001 in the eastern Pacific, and June 1, 2001 in the central Pacific, and lasted until November 30, 2001.
		Hurricanes Adolph and Juliette both reached category 4 intensity, while Juliette made landfall in Baja California as a minimal hurricane, causing two deaths.
		Juliette eventually peaked as a Category 4 hurricane with a central pressure of 923 millibars, which made it the fifth-most intense Pacific hurricane at the time.

	Hurricane Luis - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Hurricane Luis was the twelfth named tropical cyclone and one of the most powerful storms during the very busy 1995 Atlantic hurricane season.
		Hurricane Warnings were issued around 30 hours before Luis passed through, allowing for the opening of shelters and the preparation of the affected islands.
		Hurricane Luis brought 6 inches of rain and strong winds as it passed by Saint Martin.

	UPDATED FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Conversely, seasonal hurricane activity is typically reduced during the easterly QBO phase and large vertical wind shear conditions between 30 and 50 mb.
		Despite the weak 1997 hurricane season, the annual average of NS, H, HD, IH, IHD and NTC during the last six years are 146, 163, 239, 329, 331 and 214 percent (respectively) of the average hurricane activity for the six-year period of 1989-1994.
		The general warming of the North Atlantic that has taken place during the last six years is in concurrence with increased incidence of major hurricanes, an association similar to what occurred during the most active hurricane seasons of the 1930s to the 1960s.

	Summary of the 2001 Atlantic Hurricane Season
		The 2001 Atlantic Hurricane Season will be long remembered for the number of powerful late season storms that formed throughout the Atlantic Basin along with the devastating floods caused by Tropical Storm Allison in June.
		In October, 2001, we had Hurricane Iris, which became the most powerful hurricane of the season to date with sustained winds as high as 145 mph before it made landfall along the central coast of Belize.
		Finally, we had Hurricane Michelle, which was a powerful late season storm that brought 130 mph winds to the island of Cuba as well as heavy rains to Central America, Jamaica, and Grand Cayman.

	CNN.com - Hurricane season forecast to be worse than expected - August 10, 2001
		The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Hurricane Research Division and the National Hurricane Center in South Florida, in addition to the Climate Prediction Center in Washington, D.C., are calling for as many as 12 named storms this season.
		Landsea said a warmer Atlantic Ocean and easterly winds that tend to promote more tropical storm formation were responsible for the change.
		Hurricane expert William Gray also increased his forecast in June, predicting 12 storms and seven hurricanes.

	Above-Average Atlantic Hurricane Season Predicted by TSR Consortium
		The number of tropical storms and hurricanes striking US shores in 2001 are expected to be 20 to 30 percent above the 1991-2000 average.
		For the Atlantic basin as a whole, TSR expects twelve tropical storms, with seven of these being hurricanes and three intense hurricanes.
		The two main climate factors influencing the TSR seasonal Atlantic hurricane forecasts are the expected August and September values for (a) the temperature of sea waters between west Africa and the Caribbean, and (b) the speed of the trade winds which blow westward across the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean Sea.

	Forecasts for the 2001 North Atlantic hurricane season and verifications from the previous season
		The two components of overall hurricane activity that we examine are the seasonal number of hurricanes (H) and the seasonal number of intense (or major) hurricanes (MH).
		The 2001 probabilities are quite different from 2000 probabilities indicating a decreased likelihood of intense hurricane activity during 2001.
		Forecasts were very good for the 1993, 1997, and 1999 seasons, good for the 1994 and 1995 seasons, fair for the 1998 and 2000 seasons, and poor for the 1996 season.

	NOAA News Online (Story 648)
		A normal Atlantic hurricane season typically brings eight to 11 tropical storms, of which five to seven reach hurricane strength, with two to three classified as major.
		Seasons with normal hurricane activity average one to two land-falling hurricanes in the United States, and one in the Caribbean.
		Hurricanes Donna of 1960, David and Frederic of 1979, and Elena, Gloria and Juan of 1985 are reminders of the destruction that can occur during seasons with normal hurricane activity, he said.

		Forecasts of hurricane activity during the upcoming season are issued by noted hurricane expert Dr. William Gray and his associates at Colorado State University, and separately by NOAA forecasters.
		The Accumulated Cyclone Energy value for the season is expected to be 120 percent to 190 percent of the median, which would place the season firmly above normal activity.
		While the reduction in shear had allowed for strengthening, the bulk of the storm was still located to the northeast of the center; the only death reported thus far was a woman caught in riptide in Miami, Florida, far from the center of circulation.

	Climate Prediction Center - Expert Assessments: Atlantic Hurricane Outlook
		Given the anticipated conditions over the tropical North Atlantic, the 2001 hurricane season will likely have less overall activity than five of the last six seasons (the exception being the inactive 1997 season), but more activity than most of the relatively quiet 1970-1994 period.
		On average, seasons with normal levels of activity have 1-2 landfalling hurricanes in the U.S., and 1 landfalling hurricane in the region around the Caribbean Sea.
		A secondary climate factor, easterly winds in the lower stratosphere, is expected to provide a slightly suppressing influence on overall Atlantic hurricane activity this season.

	2001 Season - Caribbean Hurricane Network
		Still no hurricanes this year, though this doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be a quiet season (see the First Storm of the Season-section).
		Normally, this early in the season we have to watch the Gulf of Mexico (see climatology), and indeed, this weak system is located about 80 miles south-southeast of Galveston, Texas.
		This compares with a 1950-90 average of 9.3 named storms, 5.8 hurricanes and 2.2 major hurricanes a year, which is only half the average seasonal activity of the last three years.

	Climate Prediction Center - Expert Assessments: Atlantic Hurricane Outlook Update
		This prediction calls for slightly more hurricane activity than was called for in the pre-season NOAA Outlook issued in May.
		The 2001 season is not expected to be hyper-active, as was observed during four of the last six seasons (1995, 1996, 1998, 1999).
		The above regional anomalies have strengthened considerably since mid-May and have become more conducive to hurricane formation and intensification, thus suggesting a higher probability of an above-normal season than was indicated in the May NOAA Atlantic Hurricane Outlook.

	Part 2 - 2001 Season - Caribbean Hurricane Network
		Updates from the hurricane correspondents in Belize will be posted as they come in (although, unfortunately I don't have as many contacts in Belize compared to some of the islands).
		As Hurricane Iris continues to harass Jamaica and then continue on to traumatize the Caymans, TS Jerry threatens Barbados and the lower windwards at this time.The ridge to the north of the islands is keeping Jerry from turning more to the north so a west/west-northwest track is the projected one at this time.
		Iris is projected to become a hurricane in the next 24-48 hours and gradually make her way over the Yucatan Peninsula.

	Hurricane Awareness Tour Stresses Partnership, Preparation For 2001 Atlantic Season (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		As Central America and Mexico continue recovering from last year's Hurricane Keith, which left a grisly trail of death and destruction, a team of NOAA hurricane specialists and "hurricane hunters" from the U.S. Air Force are meeting with Caribbean weather and emergency officials this week to prepare for the 2001 Atlantic hurricane season.
		Max Mayfield, director of the NOAA's National Hurricane Center and the tour's team leader, said the outreach effort helps meet the United Nation's World Meteorological Organization goal for better weather forecasts across the United States, Canada, Mexico, the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific.
		Lixion Avila, a NOAA hurricane center forecaster, said, "Visiting the areas near where Hurricane Keith struck will help us gain the perspective of our colleagues who where there." At each stop on the tour, Avila and Mayfield will brief local officials and the media on the anticipated impacts of this year's hurricanes on the region.

	Multi-Season Forecasts of Atlantic Basin Hurricane Activity: 2001--2005
		The high frequency oscillation reflects the well-established, but ill-understood, association of hurricane activity with the stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO), while the semi-decadal oscillation is likely tied to the El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) of the Pacific basin, which has a rather irregular fluctuation in the range of 4 to 6 years.
		Overall, the outlook is for near normal activity to begin with the 2001 hurricane season (avg = 5.1 over the period 1886-2000) and continue for the next four years afterwhich a return to much above normal activity is projected for 2005.
		Beginning with forecasts for the 1999 season the algorithms were modified to include the trend component.
