A Study of Southeast/East Coast Hurricanes

**Updated 8/4/06**

In the coming weeks I plan to use NCEP and NARR reanalysis data to study the synoptic environments for some significant/memorable SE and east coast hurricanes. The goal here will be to improve our pattern recognition of future hurricane patterns, in order to improve forecasting from lessons learned in the past. Some of the storms I plan to look at are Hugo, Fran, Hazel, Floyd, Bertha, and Bonnie.
