CARLSON National Hurricane Research Laboratory, Environmental Research Laboratories, NOAA, Miami, Fla. ABSTRACT An analysis of sea-surface temperatures over the tropical Atlantic for the past 5 yr shows a correlation between the number of tropical storms formed between July 10 and September 20 and the ocean temperatures over a wide area centered near 10"N and 35OW. In a recent article by Carlson (1969) it was suggested subsequent tabulations will refer primarily to an area that the frequency of tropical storm formation from box located between 10" and 20"N and between 30" and African disturbances is dependent upon the sea-surface 40"W. temperatures over the tropical Atlantic west of the Table 1 is a version of the sea-temperature data for African Continent. Evidence in support of this included the past five Augusts (1965-1969), showing the area a comparison of the August 1968 sea-surface temperatures average and area maximum values over this box. The over the tropical North Atlantic with those of August years of data are listed from bottom to top in the table, 1966. The earlier year was one in which several African in order of the increasing number of African disturbances disturbances developed into tropical storms, whereas 1968 to develop into tropical storms or hurricanes in the was a notably inactive hurricane season.

  • Babies and the Blackout: the Genesis of a Misconception
    SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH 10, 282-299 (1981) Babies and the Blackout: The Genesis of a Misconception ALAN J. IZENMAN Department of Statistics, Colorado State University AND SANDY L. ZABELL Department of Mathematics. Northwestern University Nine months after the great New York City blackout in November 1965, a series of articles in the New York Times alleged a sharp increase in the city’s birthrate. A number of medical and demographic articles then appeared making contradictory (and sometimes erroneous) statements concerning the blackout effect. None of these analyses are fully satisfactory from the statistical standpoint, omitting such factors as weekday-weekend effects, seasonal trends, and a gradual decline in the city’s birthrate. Using daily birth statistics for New York City over the 6-year period l%l-1966, techniques of data analysis and time-series analysis are employed in this paper to investigate the above effects. 1. BABIES AND THE BLACKOUT At exactly 5:27 PM, November 9, 1965, most of New York City was plunged into darkness because of a massive power failure affecting much of the Northeastern United States. On Wednesday, August 10, 1966, the New York Times carried a front page article with the headline “Births Up 9 Months After the Blackout,” which began: “A sharp increase in This research was carried out in the Department of Statistics, University of Chicago, under partial support of NSF Research Grants MCS72-04364 A04 and SOC72-05228 A04 and by U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration Contract EY-76-S-02-2751.
