152	Regionalized correlations between atmospheric teleconnections and tornado frequency in the United States Strassberg, Gordon S. January 2005 (has links) While in a typical year, approximately 1,000 tornadoes occur within the contiguous United States, the number is highly variable from 700 to almost 1200. This variability is not easily forecast on a yearly basis. ,Through the application of teleconnection patterns such as the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and Pacific-North America Pattern (PNA), it is shown that relationships exist between the phase of these large-scale atmospheric circulation anomalies and tornado frequency in different regions of the United States. Correlation analysis for each phase of the different patterns show that regionality exists when considenng the pattern's correlations with tornado frequency. These patterns are reasonably explained through the use of NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data. The most interesting result from this study is that the NAO and PNA patterns yielded similar stateby-state correlation patterns, suggesting that the two patterns may be linked as has been suggested by prior research. / Department of Geography Tornadoes -- United States.

153	The possible relationships between atmospheric teleconnections and severe thunderstorm outbreaks in the continental United States Hitchens, Nathan M. January 2006 (has links) The purpose of this study is to examine possible relationships between changes in values of teleconnection indices related to the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Pacific-North American (PNA) pattern, and Arctic Oscillation (AO), and outbreaks of severe thunderstorms for specific time periods following such changes. A series of chi-squared tests are performed to determine if statistically significant relationships exist between changes in teleconnection index values and the occurrence of severe thunderstorm outbreaks. Results indicate that changes in the SOI seem to be related to an increase in the frequency of outbreaks that follow in the short-term. / Department of Geography Ocean-atmosphere interaction.
