Confusion about Jeanne passing thru Frances wake

#1 Postby waterdog » Thu Sep 16, 2004 9:20 pm

Would anyone tell my why people would think that Jeanne would be affected at all by Frances. The cooler water that Frances left would probably be replaced by warm Gulf Stream water by this time...right?

That was my thought process, sure she sat there for a while, but the gulf stream water is constantly being replenished by warm water...isnt it?

The Gulf Stream doesn't flow through the Bahamas, so in that area there is something of a cooler wake left by Frances. But even that water is plenty warm enough to support a hurricane. Besides, Jeanne looks likely to track a little further south where there's sufficient warm water to support intensification.

Frances was over those waters southeast and east of the Bahamas 14 days/2 weeks ago. I don't believe upwelling is an issue anymore in the water to the southeast and around the Bahamas.
