Discovering Past Hurricanes To Determine Hurricane Frequency

When scientists work towards understanding a theory or method, looking into the past proves a useful tool. Studying the past of an area of science can link together other branches of science and their ideas in order to better understand the theory the scientist wants to prove. When predicting hurricane frequency, meteorologists have found it useful to look into the past in order to find the patterns between time and landfalling hurricanes. In order to accomplish this, these scientists must look towards other areas of science in order to produce this timeline of hurricanes.

Many scientists have attempted to forecast the United States hurricane climate through the use of probability. James B. Elsner and Brian H. Bossak focused on three regions of the United States (the East coast, Florida, and the Gulf of Mexico) where they studied the historical records of these areas in order to produce a pattern within the amount of landfalling hurricanes (Elsner 4341). They were able to produce statistics, but they realized in their study that the hurricane timeline must extend further back in time in order to produce more accurate results (4348). With more and more scien
