Storm Climatology

This graph shows the number of East Coast Winter Storm (ECWS) events that occurred during each season. Information concerning the identification of individual storms appears in Hirsch et al. (2000). Details on the relationship between storm strength and coastal impacts is given in DeGaetano (2007).
