WPAC kicking butt...

Just over a month ago on Jun 15, ACE was 11.985 then on Jul 11, ACE up to 38.1375

Current ACE as of July 23 is 69.7475

That's over 54 in over a month and from 37% of normal to 110% of normal...

Normal year to date is 63...

WPAC ACE is more than half of the Northern Hemisphere ACE of 118.2650

[euro6208]

Neoguri 08W- ACE=25.79

Rammasun 09W- ACE=21.9425

Matmo- 9.545

Blue- Current storm

Updated numbers from Dr. Ryan Maue's site for this week as of 7/22/2014. WPAC leads the way, EPAC is showing signs of activity while the Atlantic remains mostly quiet for the rest of July in terms of ACE.

If the twin typhoons that's forecast to develop were to verify, then ACE for the WPAC will skyrocket even more...

[cycloneye]

Final ACE numbers for Matmo are 10.2025 and for WPAC 70.405.

[euro6208]

Updated numbers:



Halong has contributed 2.89 to the overall WPAC numbers...

[cycloneye]

The tree basins continue to add ACE units with WPAC being the one that continues to get by far the most. EPAC is doing a good effort to rack up fast.The N Atlantic stays way behind. Updated the numbers as of 8/4/14 at 12z.

[euro6208]

Final ACE for Nakri - 0.725

Halong still going strong ACE now up to 23.875 and will add more as it has 5 more days until landfall...

[Ntxw]

Updated numbers from Dr. Ryan Maue's site for this week as of 8/5/2014. Global ACE is doing remarkably this year well thanks in most part to the warming and gradual increase in tropical Pacific moisture that has been lacking and plaguing the past several years. WPAC and EPAC have gained hefty ACE from long lived, long tracked systems. Atlantic while raw numbers aren't great, is still above normal relative to average thanks to favorable subtropical regions as both Arthur and Bertha took advantage in this area. I see no reason for global ACE slowdown as the Pacific will continue to produce at a steady pace with Iselle, Genevieve, Halong, and Julio.

Indeed, very active for the North Pacific basins. In fact, Julio and Genevieve are forecast to become a hurricane/typhoon and that Halong is forecast to reintensify and to last longer meaning multiple additions to the ACE for the area.

This year, the tropical activity, is way more active in the Northern Hemisphere compare to this time last year. Although the basins over the NPac were able to catch up later that year, it remained below-normal, and not this year.

N. Hemisphere: 73.5250 [Normal: 146]

The JTWC has not updated the best track of super typhoon Genevieve, leaving it stuck to a 100-it major hurricane over the EPAC and thus affecting Ryan Maue's ACE calculation which only gets info from the BT and not the actual forecast, making Genevieve have only 4 units but it would be like 9-15 units now as it sustained super typhoon strength. Other than that, the WPAC is above normal because of Halong which is a long lived typhoon thus accumulating 32 units, to calling to 105-115 units for the WPAC; and, the EPAC is much above normal due to the recent hyperactivity from 3 consecutive majors thus totalling the ACE to 80.

[somethingfunny]

Is the Central Pacific counted toward the EPAC count?

[Ntxw]

Is the Central Pacific counted toward the EPAC count?

I believe this is correct. CPAC is just an extension of the EPAC.

[cycloneye]

EPAC is benefiting by the crossovers like Genevieve,Issele and Julio that have been strong ACE producers. Updated the numbers at title.

[Ntxw]

With that the EPAC has surpassed last season's total ACE with a ways to go.

[xtyphooncyclonex]

WPAC ACE according to Policlimate/WeatherBell is now at 117 units; the EPAC ACE is at 78 units but another source has it at 80 and there are no changes for the other basins. Impressive burst of activity over the Pacific. In fact, the EPAC ACE to-date is higher (80/78) compared to last year's (near 75) for total yearly ACE. The WPAC ACE is 3-4x more active (117-120) than last year to-date (35) and thus this is only the 2nd quarter of the year!

FOR IN OTHER WORDS:
August 9 Activity in units ACE:
BASIN........................2013...............2014
West Pacific................34-37..............117-120
East Pacific.................30-34..............75-80
North Atlantic..............6-7.................13-14
North Indian................5....................4
Total North Hemiphere..75-83.............199-218

This year's cyclonic activity is much more active compared to last year, GLOBALLY. It is already evident as multiple tropical cyclones are spinning up over the North Pacific Ocean, and Genevieve formed and became the strongest storm to cross the International Dateline. When was the last time we had a very active global cyclonic season?

ACCUMULATED CYCLONE ENERGY TOTALS, AS OF AUGUST 10, 2014 1:30 PM UTC

Northern Hemisphere: 225.8995 - 138% of normal, YTD
Normal Year to Date: 163

GLOBAL: 357.8575 - 106% of normal, YTD

[euro6208]

Halong contributed 35.54, highest for any tropical cyclone so far this year...

[cycloneye]

Updated the EPAC ACE units totals with new Tropical Storm Karina at 35kts and Hurricane Julio at 65kts now bringing the total to 85.175 units. EPAC has been very impressive with some crossovers from EPAC to CPAC and to WPAC in the case of GENEVIEVE but those count for the EPAC totals.

[Ntxw]

Updated numbers from Dr. Ryan Maue's site for this week as of 8/13/2014. Global ACE continues to rise above normal, held strong by the Pacific basins. The Atlantic remains above normal, however nothing there is imminent and the next few weeks ACE climo begins to climb at a more rapid pace. It will likely go below average by next week. The EPAC will be tacking on more points and should cross the 100 mark sometime by the end of this month IMO.
