Popis: Tropical cyclones often produce tornadoes before, during, and after their landfall. Some tropical cyclones have produced no tornadoes, or only a few, whereas others have produced more than 100. Hurricane Ivan (2004) produced more tornadoes than any other tropical cyclone that has impacted the United States. Ivan produced 118 tornadoes over a three-day period from Florida north through Pennsylvania. These tornadoes were not produced uniformly across space and time, but rather occurred in spatiotemporal clusters. The purpose of this study is to explore the nature of Ivan's tornado clusters using geographic information systems.
