THE INTENSITY FORECASTING EXPERIMENT A NOAA Multiyear Field Program for Improving Tropical Cyclone Intensity Forecasts
M OTIVATION FOR IFEX. One of the key activities in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) strategic plan is to improve the understanding and prediction of tropical cyclones (TCs). The NOAA National Hurricane Center (NHC), a part of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), is responsible for forecasting TCs in the Atlantic and east Pacific basins, while N...
متن کاملHIRWG Minority Report
The convening of, and the charge to, a Hurricane Intensity Research Working Group (HIRWG) by the NOAA Science Advisory Board (SAB) attested to the following assessments by the agency's leadership. First, the predictive tools available to guide operational forecasting of tropical-cyclone intensity need to be upgraded. Second, it is not clear that the current research activities in NOAA will furn...
متن کاملDeveloping ‘First-Guess’ Wind Fields For Tropical Cyclone Analyses In H*Wind
A theoretical wind profile algorithm is implemented into a hurricane wind analysis tool to improve a 2-dimensional objective wind analysis. Validation of hurricane surface wind speeds from remote sensing technology has been difficult due to a lack of sufficient storm data needed for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Hurricane Research Division Real Time Hurricane Wind Analysis...
متن کاملTemporal clustering of tropical cyclones and its ecosystem impacts.
Tropical cyclones have massive economic, social, and ecological impacts, and models of their occurrence influence many planning activities from setting insurance premiums to conservation planning. Most impact models allow for geographically varying cyclone rates but assume that individual storm events occur randomly with constant rate in time. This study analyzes the statistical properties of A...
متن کاملApplication of Oceanic Heat Content Estimation to Operational Forecasting of Recent Atlantic Category 5 Hurricanes
Research investigating the importance of the subsurface ocean structure on tropical cyclone intensity change has been ongoing for several decades. While the emergence of altimetry-derived sea height observations from satellites dates back to the 1980s, it was difficult and uncertain as to how to utilize these measurements in operations as a result of the limited coverage. As the in situ measure...
