It will also be interesting to see plaintiffs explain this graph
of accumulated cyclone energy in the light of their theory that man - made global warming is increasing hurricane strengths and frequencies (ACE is a sort of integration of hurricane and tropical storm strengths over time).
Not exact matches
«This mechanism means that little thunderstorms — fast, abundant, but not very strong thunderstorms — over a long period
of time can actually
accumulate so much angular momentum right on the pole, that you get a permanent, wildly strong
cyclone.»
The
Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index
of tropical
cyclone activity also indicated a below - average season in the North Atlantic.
Accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) is a measure used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to express the activity
of individual tropical
cyclones and entire tropical
cyclone seasons, * particularly the North Atlantic hurricane season.
Pity there's no category for «None
of the above» How about Global
accumulated cyclone energy at an all - time low?
The team then compared the oxygen isotope ratio for each year's wet season from 1990 to 2010 with a
cyclone activity index
of the average
accumulated energy expended, based on factors such as number
of cyclones,
cyclone strength, size and time on storm track.
The scientists also calculated the squares
of the storms» maximum wind speeds to obtain the
accumulated cyclone energy for each storm.
In the researchers» words: «About 60 %
of all tropical
cyclones moving from waters off
of Africa pass through 61.5 ° W south
of 25.0 ° N, the remaining 40 % either moving north
of 25.0 ° N, dying out or re-curving to the east
of 61.5 ° W.» Chenoweth and Divine note that LACE is «highly correlated» with Carribbean basin - wide
Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) since 1899.
Maybe something along the lines
of the last 40 years
of accumulated tropical
cyclone energy.
All told through June 27, 2011, overall global
accumulated cyclone energy and frequency has settled into a period
of record inactivity.
