North Atlantic Hurricane Season ends -- > Houston Chronicle
November 30, 2009: With the official end of the 2009 North Atlantic hurricane season, it is time to put the season in perspective and compare to the past 70-seasons. In terms of the Accumulated Cyclone Energy index [ACE], 2009 tallied ~52 ACE points which is less than half of normal. Here is a listing of the past 70-years of ACE values for the North Atlantic Listing . 2009 was the quietest year since 1997 (ACE= 41) and the 16th slowest since 1940. Interestingly, 2009 saw 1/5th of the activity of 2005, the most active ACE season on record. 3 storms out of the total of 9 accounted for 85% of the total ACE (Bill, Fred, and Ida). These 3 storms were the only hurricanes out of the total 9 tropical storms.
Did we stop putting CO2 into the atmosphere? Is that why 2009 was so low?
Over to you IPCC.
