ABSTRACT.
The variability of the frequency of tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic has permitted us to establish relationships between the anomalies of the general atmospheric circulation and cyclone activity. In this paper two synoptic patterns at 850-hPa level for the April month were determined by statistic techniques. These patterns reflected the significance of the polar through and the subtropical high pressure of the Azores-Bermudas, which were valorised for characterising the tropical season in the North Atlantic Ocean and the region of Gulf of Mexico in particular.
