摘要
The interannual variation of hurricane tracks across the North Atlantic was examined. An objective clustering was used to characterize hurricane paths broadly into straight moving recurving. The results lead to emphasize that unravelling the causes of changes in hurricane activity requires not only understanding which factors influence their origin and development, but also understanding which factors influence where they will track.
