El Niño conditions can also curb the formation of powerful storms, and with no El Niño in the picture in 2017 — and with warmer - than - average ocean waters — last year's Atlantic hurricane season was unusually active.
For years, perhaps decades, Gray has been ascribing all sorts of climate changes and hurricane cycles to fluctuations in the Thermohaline Circulation (THC), an overturning circulation in the Atlantic ocean associated with formation of deep water in the North Atlantic.
Higher resolution models tended to get more hurricane formation (perhaps unsurprisingly), with quarter - degree models parameterized using observed SSTs generally capturing historical hurricane formation rates fairly accurately.
