Analysis of Cyclone Tracks of North Indian Ocean Using Cluster Analysis - Monitoring and Prediction of Tropical Cyclones in the Indian Ocean and Climate Change - page 93

This exploratory study presents a number of possibilities for future work.
This includes examining the relationship of these clusters to other large-scale
circulation features and regional climatology. Further methodology refinement
could also be attempted such as the approaches to deal with irregularity in the
track geometry and the use of cyclone characteristics as part of the clustering
process itself.
