	Climate Prediction Center - Atlantic Hurricane Outlook Update
		An important measure of the total seasonal activity is NOAA’s Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index, which accounts for the collective intensity and duration of Atlantic named storms and hurricanes during the hurricane season.
		Hurricane seasons during 1995-2006 have averaged 14.4 named storms, 8.2 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes, with an average ACE index of 172% of the median.
		The second key predictor for the 2007 hurricane season is the possibility of a La Niña episode in the tropical Pacific during ASO.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		We define forecast skill as the degree to which we are able to predict the variation of seasonal hurricane activity parameters from their long-term climatology.
		We attribute the heightened Atlantic major hurricane activity of 2004 season as well as the increased Atlantic major hurricane activity of the previous nine years to be a consequence of the multidecadal fluctuations in the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation (THC) as we have been discussing in our Atlantic basin seasonal hurricane forecasts for several years.
		Regardless of how active the 2005 hurricane season is, a finite probability always exists that one or more hurricanes may strike along the US coastline or the Caribbean Basin and do much damage.

		Hurricanes are given names because it makes it easier to discuss them, especially when relaying information between widely scattered weather stations and ships.

		The 2002 season is not expected to be extremely active, as was observed during four of the last seven seasons (1995, 1996, 1998, 1999).
		Based on the current and expected climate conditions there is a 45% probability of a near-normal Atlantic hurricane season in 2002, a 35% probability of an above-normal season, and a 20% chance of a below-normal season.
		For the past several hurricane seasons the favorable decadal signal has been evident in above-normal North Atlantic sea-surface temperatures, in an overall amplified West African monsoon system, in a favorable configuration of the African easterly jet, and most importantly in reduced vertical wind shear over the heart of the hurricane development region.
