It is worth re-emphasising these points:
-
Many storms were missed over the open ocean prior to hurricane hunter aircraft in 1944.
-
Even then half of the Atlantic basin was not covered.
-
Satellite coverage began to improve matters in 1966.
-
But even then monitoring has considerably improved since 1966, particularly regarding short lived storms.
