Accumulated cyclone energy is calculated by summing the squares of the estimated maximum sustained velocity of tropical cyclones when wind speeds are at least tropical storm strength (≥ 34 kn; 63 km/h; 39 mph) [4] at recorded six-hour intervals. The sums are usually divided by 10,000 to make them more manageable.

"The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has now generated 127 ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy), officially meeting NOAA's definition of an above-normal season," Klotzbach said on X Wednesday.
While the number of tropical storms and hurricanes that form each year is important to track, experts say that the Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index is a more reliable way to quantify the ...
The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) is another parameter that forecasters analyze to determine how much wind energy is generated by a named tropical system over its lifetime. A weak, short-lived ...
If a tropical cyclone intensify further and reaches wind speeds of 90 knots (170 km/h; 100 mph), it will be classified as an intense tropical cyclone. A very intense tropical cyclone is the highest category on the South-West Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclone scale, and has winds of over 115 knots (213 km/h; 132 mph). [24] [25]
"The Atlantic tropics are broken – for now," meteorologist Ryan Maue posted on X Sunday, adding that developing storms near Africa are encountering at least one problem: "Ocean temperatures at ...
English: :Accumulated Cyclone Energy of North Atlantic hurricanes Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) is an index used to measure the activity of a cyclone/hurricane season. It combines the number of hurricane systems, how long they existed and how intense they became.
