Tropical Cyclone Forecasters Reference Guide 4. Tropical Cyclone Motion.

Abstract

One of the keys to safe and successful naval operations in the tropics is an understanding of tropical meteorology. The Tropical Cyclone Forecasters Reference Guide is designed primarily as a ready reference for weather forecasters required to provide tropical meteorology support to staff commanders. This report provides an overview of tropical cyclone motion forecasting and is Chapter 4 of the reference guide. Subjects discussed include operational forecasting procedures, synoptic pattern recognition, and tropical cyclone track climatology.
