[edit] Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) Rating
The table on the below shows the ACE for each storm in the season. The ACE is, broadly speaking, a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed for, so hurricanes that lasted a long time have higher ACEs (such as Jean).
