Let's see how much ACE Gonzalo and Douglas get to help their basins go up.

Indeed, the slowness of the WPAC is what is causing all the hype.

I know it doesn't currently, but I wonder if there is any way to make ACE take storm size into account. It just stands to reason that a large storm would expend more energy than a small one (like Gonzalo) with the same max winds.

Yeah it would take an insane amount of work but it'd be neat to see a calculation that took TS/H wind radius into account with each advisory

Colors of lost purpose on the canvas of irrelevance
Not a meteorologist, in fact more of an idiot than anything. You should probably check with the NHC or a local NWS office for official information.

track integrated kinetic energy may be what you're looking for

Added TIKE as a column in the year quicklook.

Incredible that it's July 25th, and we almost double the ACE of the WPAC to date. Yikes.

It's just July and a single long tracking Super Typhoon will erase the deficit...

It would have to be one serious long track supertyphoon to erase the deficit the WPac has built up. The more time without a TC, the more it's building up, especially as we head into ASO.

The WPac is going to need something like Mangkhut, which was a Category 5 for around 3-4 straight days, to erase that deficit and get the basin anywhere near average. Such a system is looking highly unlikely anytime soon.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Mangkhut would still leave the basin with about a 15 unit ACE deficit, and that's not even factoring the the average increase of about 1.5 units of ACE per day for each day this time of year. It would take phenomenal activity to return the WPac back to average.

How much ACE did Mangkhut produce?

47.04 units over the course of 9.5 days.

That’s lower than I thought. I was expecting like 55-60 ACE.

Didn't exist for long enough to pump out that much.

Finnally the WPAC is moving to get some ACE units from the two storms that are now in the basin but still is far from the average of 74.0 as of August 1.
