	Climate Prediction Center - Atlantic Hurricane Outlook
		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.
		For the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season, the ACE index is expected to be in the range of 125% to 210% of the median.
		Hurricane seasons during 1995-2005 have averaged 15 named storms, 8.5 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes, with an average ACE index of 179% of the median.

		The social unrest and looting which took place on St. Croix was not typical of the reaction of hurricane victims and would not be seen again until Hurricane Jeanne hit Haiti in 2004 and Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005.
		He also noted that there were about 3,000 tornadoes embedded within the hurricane, which accounts for extensive damage in some areas not within the path of the eyewall.
		Hurricane Hugo is the 4th costliest Atlantic hurricane.

	SUMMARY OF 2000 ATLANTIC TROPICAL CYCLONE
		The number of Atlantic basin hurricanes per season in recent years has ranged as high as 12 (as in 1969), 11 (as in 1950 and 1995), 10 (as in 1998), and as low as 2 (as in 1982) and 3 (as in 1997, 1994, 1987, 1983, 1972, 1962, 1957).
		Given the similarity of 2000 precursor conditions to the average of the precursor conditions of the analog years we were wise to have issued a seasonal forecast similar to the average of the hurricane activity that occurred in these years.
		Atlantic intense (or category 3-4-5) hurricane activity showed a substantial decrease during 1970-1994 to levels about 40 percent of the amount which occurred during the 1950-1969 or the 1995-2000 periods.

		Strengthening to reach hurricane intensity on the 29th as it moved northward, Beta then turned to the west and west-southwest and became a category 3 storm on the 30th, the 7th major hurricane of the season.
		Hurricane Katrina was one of the strongest storms to impact the coast of the United States during the last 100 years.
		Hurricane Irene was a long-lived storm originating from a tropical wave moving off the coast of Africa.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.

	NCDC: Climate of 2006: Atlantic Hurricane Season Summary
		However, the first storm of the official 2006 Atlantic hurricane season was Tropical Storm Alberto, which was named on June 11th off the coast of Cuba.
		For the season, there were 5 hurricanes (2 major) and 4 tropical storms: a below-average season when compared with the recent 1995-2005 average, yet similar to the average of the preceeding 25 years (1970-1994) listed in the paragraph above.
		The first Hurricane of the 2006 Atlantic season, Ernesto, formed on August 24th, about 155 miles southeast of Martinique in the Windward Islands and tracked to the west, becoming a tropical storm in the evening of the 25th.

		That was not the case during the latter half of the 1990s, when six tropical storms and hurricanes — Arthur, Bertha and Fran in 1996; Bonnie in 1998; and Dennis and Floyd last year — ravaged the Carolinas.
		Hurricane expert William Gray, who underestimated this season's activity despite an above-average hurricane forecast, says the excessive number of hurricanes this year makes the last six years the most active such hurricane period of record.
		His team of forecasters at Colorado State University lists the number of hurricanes back to 1995 at 49, which is the most on record for any six-year period since the start of reliable counts in the mid-1940s, when aircraft reconnaissance began.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The recent upturn in Atlantic basin hurricane activity which began in 1995 is expected to continue in 2004, although at a somewhat reduced rate from some of the very active years since 1995.
		For example, 1961 was an active hurricane season (NTC of 222), but there was no TC activity during August; 1995 had 19 named storms, but only one named storm developed during a 30-day period during the peak of the hurricane season between 29 August and 27 September.
		Atlantic basin NTC can be skillfully hindcast, and the strength of the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation can be inferred as SSTA* from North Atlantic SST anomalies in the current and prior years.

	Early Detection of Tropical Cyclones
		The thresholds are determined from the TCs of the 1999 Atlantic hurricane season.
		Of the 14 TCs that occurred during the 1999 season, 9 are identified before the NHC classified them as TCs (Table 2), and one (TC Lenny) is identified after the NHC classified it as dissipated (listed as a closed circulation in Table 1).
		In addition, the 2000 season offers an opportunity to test the algorithm with a near-realtime data set, which could be used operationally by the NHC.

		A very active Atlantic hurricane season is underway, and with more storms projected, NOAA today increased the number of storms in its 2005 hurricane season outlook.

		The most hurricanes in a season was 12 in 1969, and the highest number of major hurricanes was eight in 1950.

	Summary of the 2000 Atlantic Hurricane Season
		The 2000 Atlantic Hurricane Season will be long remembered for several mid and late season storms that formed throughout the Atlantic Basin along with the devastation caused by Hurricane Keith in October.
		Like the previous three years before, this hurricane season got off to a slow start, but would slowly heat up as the season progressed with the development of Alberto, Gordon, and Isaac.
		In October, 2000, we had Hurricane Keith, which became the most powerful hurricane of the season to date with sustained winds as high as 145 mph before it made landfall near Belize City.

	2003 Hurricane season: USWRP research led to more accurate track forecasts
		BOULDER--Findings from this year's active Atlantic hurricane season confirm that track forecasts have markedly improved, following computer-modeling advances at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that include the use of enhanced wind data from parachute-borne instrument packages devised at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
		The boost in hurricane track accuracy follows a more steady improvement since the 1960s of 1—2% a year.
		Since 2000, the NHC forecasts have benefited from major USWRP-supported improvements in the global computer forecast model developed at NOAA's Environmental Modeling Center (EMC), a part of NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP).
