Abstract

Tropical cyclones in context A new reconstruction of Atlantic basin-wide hurricane occurrences for the past 1,500 years shows that although recent hurricane activity is unusually high, activity during the medieval warm period around AD 1000 was as high or even higher. The reconstructions are based on two independent techniques: a composite of regional sedimentary evidence of landfalling hurricanes and a statistical model of Atlantic tropical cyclone activity driven by proxy reconstructions of past climate changes.
