Abstract
The eastern tropical North Pacific Ocean (EASTROPAC) is one of the most prolific regions for tropical cyclone activity, considering the limited area and season of occurrence. This publication presents operationally usable statistics on frequency, initial and terminal positions, track, speed and duration of EASTROPAC tropical cyclones, as derived from a recent 10-year period of adequate operational satellite surveillance, 1965-1974. The current status of forecasting these cyclones is highlighted by recent statistics on the accuracy of analog forecasts of the cyclone tracks. A selected bibliography and list of references is also included.
