1. Loop Current

   Linked via "Louisiana/Texas shelf"

   The thermodynamic state of the Loop Current has direct, quantifiable impacts on atmospheric systems forming over the Gulf. The presence of an intensified or expanded Loop Current provides a vast reservoir of thermal energy, which significantly lowers the threshold for tropical cyclogenesis. Hurricanes traversing areas influenced by a strong LCWE show an average increase in maximum sustained wind speed of $1.2$ knots per $100$ km traversed over the warm feature [6].
