Design Considerations for an Advanced Tropical Cyclone Model.

Abstract

A project planning meeting on dynamical tropical cyclone models was held january 3-4 1985 at NAVENVPREDRSCHFAC to guide development of a next-generation forecast model, or Advanced Tropical Cyclone Model (ATCM). The meeting was structured in three groups: an Operational group (OP) to provide forecaster needs and real world constraints; a Numerical Aspects group (NUM) with expertise in the numerical modeling issues; and a Data Analysis and Initialization group (DAI) to guide the development of the data analysis and initialization component of ATCM. Contents: Operational Considerations; Data Analysis and Initialization Issues; Numerical Issues; Research Plan Framework; Operational Considerations for the Design of an Advanced Tropical Cyclone Model; Summary of Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center Operational Considerations; A Brief Description of the Navy Tropical Analysis and the NOGAPS Analysis; A Review of the Dynamic Tropical Cyclone Forecast Models Developed by the U.S.; Strawman Proposal for an Advanced Tropical Cyclone Model.
