Improvements in Intensity and Track Predictions for Hurricanes.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA327049 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Highlights of our progress include significant improvements in intensity and track predictions for hurricanes with the use of physical initialization techniques and very high resolution T170 global and regional T240 model forecasts using the FSU models. These improvements are supported by results of forecasts made for Hurricanes Erin and Opal of 1995 and Hurricane Fran of 1996.
