## Abstract This study examines the interannual variability of the tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) during the period 1970β2008. An empirical orthogonal function analysis of the annual frequency of TC occurrence shows three leading modes of TC occurrence patterns. The
## ABSTRACT Forecasting for inventory items with lumpy demand is difficult because of infrequent nonzero demands with high variability. This article developed two methods to forecast lumpy demand: an optimally weighted moving average method and an intelligent patternβseeking method. We compare them
Particularly in regions, where precipitation is limited to a few months per year only, reliable determination of the onset of the rainy season and the start of the sowing time is of crucial importance to sustainable food production. Especially since the mid-1980s, an increasing delay of onset dates
## Abstract Climatological research in the tropics of northern Australia has focused particularly on the Australian summer monsoon. However, the timing of many ecologically important processes is determined not by the monsoon but by extraβmonsoonal rainfall events. These events produce a temporal p
## Abstract We study the probability of rejecting the seasonal unit root tests developed by Hylleberg __et al__. when they are applied to fractionally integrated seasonal time series. We find that these tests have quite low power and that they lead to a risk of overβdifferencing. The forecasting pe
