New method for detecting extratropical cyclones: the eight-section slope detecting method

An algorithm for identifying extratropical cyclones (ECs) on the basis of gridded data is proposed in this study. The algorithm, which is named the eight-section slope detecting (ESSD) method, has five key procedures to identify an EC by using the mean sea level pressure (MSLP) or geopotential heigh...
