Results of Climatology of >=F2 tornadoes in the Southeast US
stratified by terrain features

1.  Area of Study

This is the area of study broken down by terrain.  Areas are as follows:
 

OZ = Ozarks
MR = Mississippi River Valley and delta
CO = Coastal parts of MS,AL,GA, and FL panhandle
FL = FL peninsula
AP = Appalachians

*NOTE:  Unless otherwise stated, climatology plots are for F2 or greater tornadoes ONLY

Next, I created some Hovmoller plots to examine the differences between cool season (Nov.-Mar.) and warm season (Apr.-Oct.) tornadoes in the southeast.
