2014: ACE - ATL = 65.1 EPAC = 182.25 WPAC =273.577

[xtyphooncyclonex]

NEOGURI rapidly intensified to a category 4 typhoon, and which now contributes 3.81 to the WPAC ACE as per policlimate

[cycloneye]

Updated as of 15:00 UTC.Arthur ended with the highest ACE for an early July storm after Dolly of 2008. Neoguri keeps racking up the WPAC.

[cycloneye]

At 21:00 UTC update Neoguri has 6.5725 ACE accumulated and the WPAC as a whole has now 19.0425 units.

[cycloneye]

The 15:00z updated with WPAC continuing to rack up ACE units up to 23.3625.

[xtyphooncyclonex]

ACE should later be updated, as Neoguri is very close to category 5 status and is resuming its intensification process. It is just 5 knots shy of that threshold, as Neoguri is 135 kts and needs to be 140 kts for category 5 status.

[cycloneye]

Updated the 0300z numbers at 135kts. Neoguri has 14.08 units and WPAC has 26.55 units.

[Ptarmigan]

2013 had 2.77/ACE, while 2014 has 6.97/ACE so far. 2014 is more energetic in ACE than 2013.

[xtyphooncyclonex]

2013 had 2.77/ACE, while 2014 has 6.97/ACE so far. 2014 is more energetic in ACE than 2013.

And amazing that 6.97 was contributed by only one storm this year, compared to 2.77 contributed by 2 or 3 weak and short lived tropical storms last year.

Desig......NAME........Cur-wind...Peak......ACE
08W........NEOGURI........110........135........20.0125

Just see how much ACE Neoguri contributed!

[euro6208]

WPAC will take the lead once again and probrably won't look back...

33.6925 Season ACE , Normal Year to date is 47 , 71% Normal...

Neoguri alone had 21.2225

[cycloneye]

The final ACE numbers for Neoguri are 25.6675 and the WPAC went up to 38.1375. Now let's see how much ACE the new TC gets.

[euro6208]

09W slowly gaining ace now up to 0.49 and should increase rapidly as forecast calls for a major typhoon...

09W slowly gaining ace now up to 0.49 and should increase rapidly as forecast calls for a major typhoon...

TD 09W had an update in the JTWC Best Track which shows that 09W never actually intensified to a tropical storm, and the forecast is no longer showing a major typhoon. The ACE should now be back to 0 units for 09W.

[Ptarmigan]

2013 had 2.77/ACE, while 2014 has 6.97/ACE so far. 2014 is more energetic in ACE than 2013.

And amazing that 6.97 was contributed by only one storm this year, compared to 2.77 contributed by 2 or 3 weak and short lived tropical storms last year.

Quite a productive season for one storm.

Rammasun increasing the ACE...

[cycloneye]

Rammasun continues to rack up ACE and as the 12z update it was at 5.9875 and the WPAC goes up to 44.2475.

[Ntxw]

Updated numbers from Dr. Ryan Maue's site for this week as of 7/15/2014. Since the last update I made the WPAC went up dramatically which was only a week and a half ago from 33% to 81%. EPAC hasn't gained much since, the Atlantic as well didn't add since Arthur. The Atlantic average will start to pick up soon as we move into August so to remain above, activity will be needed. Global ACE is above normal, different from the previous years.

WPAC continues to rack up the ACE numbers with Typhoon Rammasun and the new TC named Matmo. (53.5375)

[xtyphooncyclonex]

Year-to-date ACE in the WPAC is very near normal, now at 55.52 and is 95% of normal. Rammasun is just 5 knots shy of becoming a category 5 super typhoon and Matmo is forecast to become a high-end category 2 typhoon.

[xtyphooncyclonex]

Rammasun, and now Matmo are putting the up ACE a lot. It was below-normal 3 weeks ago, but it is already above normal!!
