Bister, M. and Emanuel, K.A. (2002). Low frequency variability of tropical cyclone potential intensity 2. Climatology for 1982–1995. Journal of Geophysical Research 107: doi: 10.1029/2001JD000780. issn: 0148-0227.

In this note, we describe the method of calculating a climatology of tropical cyclone potential intensities for the years 1982--1995, as displayed at http://www.mit.edu/~emanuel/pcmin/climo.html. The climatology has been constructed from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) Reanalysis and the Reynolds' Global Sea Surface Optimum Interpolation (OI) temperature analysis. We estimate errors in potential intensities resulting from known problems in the data and discuss the results.
