Extending the Computerized Typhoon/Tropical Storm Prediction Program (Tyfoon 72) Toward Seven Days.
Abstract
The objective of the research was to develop methods for improved prediction of the movement of tropical cyclones in the 3-7 day time scale; the improved system was to be based on the existing TYFOON and/or TYFOON 72 automated programs for producing predictions out to 3 days. The work was divided into 3 tasks: A survey of the 2 existing prediction models and the updating and extending of the analog historical file used by these programs in producing their predictions; to determine the value of large-scale patterns in the prediction of typhoon formation and in subsequent track prediction; to refine the typhoon analog predictive techniques (Modified author abstract)
