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.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
