Re: FSU stats re: HURRICANE DAYS THIS YEAR; historically low

I am amused that they would conduct such a study and release it to the "news" media prior to the season even officially ending, and really, prior to post-season reanalysis having concluded.

Rather fitting that Noel became a hurricane the very same week.

A note about this year's ACE:
An arguably greater percentage of cyclones than usual formed very close to land this season, cutting their ACE far short of what it would have been otherwise. Additionally, 2007 saw a far greater percentage of subtropical cyclones form than usual, and even subtropical cyclones that go on to become called tropical do not have their subtropical phases included in the formula.
