Reply to “Comments on `Spatial and Temporal Trends in the Location of the Lifetime Maximum Intensity of Tropical Cyclones’”
Highlights
For Objective 1 of TE17, K18 notes the potential for errors resulting from using a relatively short time frame for the analyses
Based on the methods of KEV14, we limited our data set to a short period (1977–2015) to analyze patterns in lifetime maximum intensity (LMI) latitude, choosing data accuracy over length of time and sample size
KEV14 and [4] argue that LMI location is less sensitive to data inconsistencies than other tropical cyclone characteristics, allowing for a longer period of study; in TE17 we used intensity information in addition to LMI location, meriting a shorter period focused on the time after the introduction of geostationary weather satellites
Summary
For Objective 1 of TE17, K18 notes the potential for errors resulting from using a relatively short time frame for the analyses. KEV14 and [4] (hereafter KEC16) argue that LMI location is less sensitive to data inconsistencies than other tropical cyclone characteristics, allowing for a longer period of study; in TE17 we used intensity information in addition to LMI location, meriting a shorter period focused on the time after the introduction of geostationary weather satellites.
