The $64,000 question: Will Richard generate enough ACE to push the season into hyperactivity? If he dissipates in the BoC/GoM as forecast by the NHC, I doubt it. One more storm should do the trick though. (Should be a piece o’cake in a strong La Niña year such as this.)

Atlantic ACE Update at 1500z

Richard has only two more ACE updates as landfall will occur after that.The only way I see Richard get to 150 is doing a strong RI to cat 4,but I dont see that occuring.

Richard won't have time to generate enough ACE to push the season to the 150 'hyperactive threshold'....it should push the total to 145/146 though.

The question is, will there be anything else this season that would generate those few points of ACE to get the season labelled hyperactive in terms of ACE?

If we look at recent active seasons, the ACE that was generated after October 24 is as follows (approximate values, didn't include 2005 since that was such an anomaly season):

1995 - 8.73
1996 - 6.08
1998 - 7.63
1999 - 20.12
2004 - 1.01
2008 - 9.20

So with the exception of 2004, most active seasons recently have generated 6-9 ACE points post October 24....1999 generated 20 ACE due to Lenny. If those values are any indication, we should be able to push the seasonal total over 150 ACE when all is said and done this season.

2010 beats 2008 in ACE and number of storms. 153 ACE is considered hyperactive.

Did anyone else realize that the East Pacific will have its least active season on record if another storm doesn't form?

I thought so too. Can someone “in the know” please shed some light on this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accumulated_cyclone_energy


I thought 150 was hyperactive?

From NOAA's Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook August 2010 update:
According to NOAA’s hurricane season classifications, an ACE value at or above 175% of the median reflects a very active (or hyperactive) season.


From the season classification document (superscripts added):
The 1951-2000 base period is used in the above classifications, where the mean value of the ACE index is (93.2 x 10^4 kt2), and the median value is (87.5 x 10^4 kt2).


Doing the math, 87.5 x 1.75 = 153.125 kt^2

Of course, this is just NOAA's definition, and doesn't preclude others from defining for themselves what constitutes a hyperactive season.

One last thing. On the Richard thread, someone wrote that ACE stops when a storm landfalls. I cannot find any reference stating this, and my calculations include all points above 34 kt, whether on land or not. NOAA's definition is:
The ACE index is a wind energy index, defined as the sum of the squares of the maximum sustained surface wind speed (knots) measured every six hours for all named systems while they are at least tropical storm strength.

Note no reference about land. Also note that the ACEs calculated here actually remove the 10^4 for convenience.

It was cycloneye who said that but later he rectified and said that it counts over land or not.

Likely ACE for Megi is higher, since Megi may have been a TS a little longer than indicated above given operational JTWC advisories end when a storm makes landfall. KWT was right on with the amount of ACE, though Igor still holds the ACE crown for the year.

Numbers from Ryan Maue's ACE site calculate a slightly higher ACE for Megi than I, and his numbers for Chaba are from earlier:
Western North Pacific
01W (30 ACE = 0.0)
Omais (50 ACE = 2.0075)
Conson (75 ACE = 8.3225)
Chanthu (75 ACE = 3.5775)
