Loop Current
Linked via "thermal energy"
Meteorological and Biological Implications
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…
