Abstract
A previous study having suggested a relationship between sea-surface temperatures and hurricane behavior, it was felt that the mechanism producing this effect must be the eddy flux of energy from sea to air in the vicinity of a hurricane. This is investigated synoptically by means of the equations used by Jacobs and it is concluded that there is some evidence of a relationship.
