Short summary
A Little Ice Age (LIA) hurricane was characterized using key storm intensity metrics from historical naval records. Its unusual intensity was driven by a higher temperature gradient between continental and coastal atmospheric circulation that drove intense midlatitude extratropical transition. Quantitative attributes embedded in historical records allow multidisciplinary research to extend our understanding of climate processes through the historical period.
A Little Ice Age (LIA) hurricane was characterized using key storm intensity metrics from...
