The energy for tropical cyclones is primarily delivered to the atmosphere by the water vapor that evaporated from warm ocean surface water. This energy is released within the atmosphere through condensation in thunderstorms and distributed by the persistent, organized wind circulation of the storm.

![Figure 7B-2 shows the preliminary track map of Atlantic basin tropical cyclones for the 2020 season from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) at Link 7B-4. The track of each named
storm is numbered at the beginning and end of its track. The figure also shows the storm names, strength, and dates of existence. 'MH' stands for 'Major Hurricanes.' (Categories 3, 4,
and 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale are Major Hurricanes.)
