February 2022 - Reanalysis of the 1966 to 1970 Atlantic Hurricane Seasons:
A systematic study of the 1966 to 1970 Atlantic hurricane seasons has discovered 14 new tropical storms. Additionally, two new hurricanes were diagnosed, which previously were only considered to be a tropical depression (AL151970) and a tropical storm (AL081970). These systems were all added into the hurricane database (HURDAT2) based upon a re-examination of all weather station, ship, Hurricane Hunter, and satellite observations using today's understanding of tropical cyclone structure and life cycle. On the flip side, two major hurricanes (Francelia - AL131969 and Inga - AL201969) were downgraded to a Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale category 2 hurricane. For U.S. hurricanes, 1966's Alma (AL011966) was upgraded from a Category 2 to a Category 3 hurricane impact in southwest Florida, 1966's Inez (AL091966) was upgraded from a Category 1 to a Category 2 hurricane in south Florida, 1970's Celia (AL041970) was upgraded from a Category 3 to a Category 4 hurricane in lower Texas, and 1969's Gerda (AL161969) was downgraded from a Category 1 hurricane to a tropical storm in Maine. |
