Dataset Description
This index measures the relative intensity of the Aleutian Low pressure system of the north Pacific (December through March). It is calculated as the mean area (km²) with sea level pressure <= 100.5 kPa and expressed as an anomaly from the 1950-1997 mean. A positive index value reflects a relatively strong or intense Aleutian Low. The index was completely regenerated using a new method in 2015. The new method produces Aleutian Low Pressure Index (ALPI) values that are comparable to previously published values (1900-2008), and there is no difference in the periods with positive or negative values. To make use of this index, you are requested to cite the manuscript (below).
