dragged into the system from hundreds of miles around.
In fact, I suspect that water vapor is the larger source of energy. Last year I tried to estimate Katrina's storm energy from the change in Gulf surface temp. I was low, by a factor of 25. It may be that the storm drew heat from a much greater depth than I assumed (I think I assumed 3 feet), but I have a hard time believing it stuck it's roots down to 75 feet. (as if I'd know)
