2016 ACE: ATL - 134.7 - EPAC - 191.9 - WPAC - 258.2125

Here we go with this annual thread for the ACE that each basin will get on 2016.Looks like EPAC will begin to get some units with the Central Pacific disturbance.

The North Atlantic and EastCentral Pacific got to a quick start with the two anomalies in January.I guess both will stay that way unless the TC reports do some changes.

Corentin and Stan have added a decent amount of ACE since the last post.

Made the update of the ACE units for SHEM now as of this post to 60.975.

[cycloneye]

Updated the SHEM numbers and until this post is at 123.33 units and that is above the normal average year to date 2/22/16. By the way Tropical Cyclone WINSTON has more ACE units than the 2013 North Atlantic season. (43.3525 vs 29.61)

[cycloneye]

WINSTON ended with 48.425 units and the Southern Hemisphere numbers are up to 129.745 units and now those will go higher with TC YALO.

Winston and Ula have made up over half of the Southern Hemisphere ACE thus far.

[cycloneye]

TC EMERAUDE has gotten 15.065 units. This push the overall SHEM total up to 144.988 units.

[1900hurricane]

Fantala is another big ACE grabber like Winston and Ula.

[cycloneye]

FANTALA as of 09z on April 18 has 31.965 units with the South Hemisphere at 181.093 units.

[cycloneye]

After FANTALA and AMOS the ACE total for the Southern Hemisphere is at 209.132.

[cycloneye]

TS Bonnie added only a fraction of ACE units.(0.3675) to increase the North Atlantic total so far to 3.9625.

Weird how the WPAC is still zero while the other basins have numbers.

Yes,very late start for that basin.Only a couple of invests and a weak TD is what WPAC has produced so far.

Post nino seasons tend to have a quiet start and overall slow season but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the WPAC takes the ACE crown again when all is said and done.

[cycloneye]

The North Atlantic ACE has rised to 4.735 after Bonnie obtained 1.14 units.However when post season analysis comes,they may make some changes so stay tuned.

[cycloneye]

Updated the North Atlantic ACE unit totals after the last advisory on TS Colin was written.Colin numbers ended at 1.6675 and the North Atlantic is up to 6.4025.

[cycloneye]

After the very short lived TS Danielle ended,it only got 0.4425 units and the North Atlantic rose slightly to 6.845 units.

[cycloneye]

Quantity dominates bigtime over quality so far this 2016 North Atlantic season based on the poor ACE units with four named systems in the books.At least is ahead of WPAC but of course it wont last.

Some discussion about the possibility of low global ACE this year began over here, so I figured I'd try to steer it over towards this thread since it is probably a more appropriate place for the discussion. The dearth of activity in the Pacific basins certainly seems to portend a down ACE year.
