I am also running a seasonal summary in my ACE-data releases over in the Dolly ACE topic. My statistics also show the percentage each takes up.

I noticed that at the report of Arthur,they increased the winds to 40kts before landfall.So I guess the ACE number has changed.Anyone wants to post the updated numbers?

You are very fast responding,thanks for the update.

#37 Postby **weatherSnoop** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 11:06 pm

RL3AO, Thanks for the prompt info...you beat the eye on this one...perhaps Sandy can make a new score card.

#38 Postby **RL3AO** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 11:15 pm

I made a mistake since I did it by hand. I typed in .1125 into the calculator instead of .1225 and did .2025 instead of .1600 for the 40kt reading.

Actual Arthur ACE: 0.7725 not 0.7650

Updated season total: 37.5125 not 37.5050

I know its not the fancy stuff that HURAKAN does but deal with it!

Are you using ATCF best-track intensities or operational intensities?
