Abstract EN
The authors define the spatial response of hurricanes to extremes in the solar cycle.
Using an equal-area hexagon tessellation, regional hurricane counts are examined during the period 1851–2010.
The response features fewer hurricanes across the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and along the eastern seaboard of the United States when sunspots are numerous.
In contrast fewer hurricanes are observed in the central North Atlantic when sunspots are few.
The sun-hurricane connection is as important as the El Niño Southern Oscillation toward statistically explaining regional hurricane occurrences.
