Due in part to limited historical observations, the long-term variability of tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the eastern North Pacific has received little research attention. This paper outlines features of a long-term (1921–2005) data set of TC frequency defined in a manner consistent with the quality and availability of historical surface observations. Simple analyses of the data set point to nonrandom behavior in the TC series and suggest that long period variability is an important component of TC activity.
