Iguess the forecasts were wrong, again? So tell me, what makes El Nino run? why that would be heat from the sun, wouldn’t it? ACE is at a 30 year low.
With the peak of the season — late August to mid-October — now behind, the Atlantic-Caribbean basin has seen just two hurricanes and a total of eight tropical storms.
El Nino, the Pacific warm-water phenomenon that can produce destructive weather in other parts of the world, played a big role in suppressing Atlantic cyclones this year, experts said.
If the full season, which runs from June through November, ended today, it would be the lowest number of storms since 1997. The last time an Atlantic season produced only two hurricanes was 1982.
Here is the ACE plot through 2009 season:
ACE stands for Accumulated Cyclone Energy. The little wiggle at the end is because a few storms were tossed in that never even amounted to anything. They did not see to have tropical characteristics. hey, they got to do what they got to do, they get their funding from the same government sources as those perpetrating the hoax of AGW.
