This project under the direction of Dr. Gray will continue                 empirical diagnostic analyses of climate data to elucidate                      climatic influences on the variability of tropical cyclones.  The               research will focus on establishing the links between 1) El                     Nino/Southern Oscillation and tropical cyclone occurrences and 2)               tropospheric and stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation and                   tropical cyclone frequency.  The ultimate goal is to improve our                physical understanding of such climatic relations and to                        determine their potential for seasonal prediction.  Specifically,               this project will enhance our capability to forecast the Atlantic               seasonal hurricane activity well in advance of the hurricane                    season.
