Hi all, I'm a total newcomer but am reading as much as I can! Forgive me if this is a stupid question.
In the past I have read that hurricanes act as, in essence, a natural heat pump that redistributes large amounts of heat energy from lower latitudes to higher latitudes.
Disregarding cyclonic storms that exist around the Arctic, I'm curious if there are any discernible _direct_ impacts from busy Atlantic hurricane seasons (higher season ACE) or even from large individual storms on the concurrent melt or freeze conditions in the Arctic? I guess what I'm wondering about is not so much the direct impact of, e.g., cyclonic winds on ice, but the redistribution of temperature/energy due to Atlantic hurricanes (or Pacific typhoons).
