Many factors are known to be important for hurricanes. In particular, the atmospheric
circulation was extraordinarily favorable during the 2005
Atlantic hurricane season for disturbances to develop into
tropical storms.
Accurate forecasting
of tropical cyclone intensity, especially in regions
like the Gulf of Mexico where small-scale variability
is prominent, may require near real-time upperocean
measurements along the future paths of storms.
