Predicting Tropical Cyclone Genesis
Abstract
The long-term goal of this project is to provide probabilistic tropical cyclone (TC) genesis forecast guidance to operational forecasters and use the genesis index to provide guidance for initializing a high-resolution mesoscale model prediction for tropical cyclone genesis. Once regions of high TC genesis probability are identified, the identified regions will be suggested for the use of a moving, multi-nested version of the COAMPS-1/TC with horizontal resolution of roughly 3 km or less in the innermost grid for the prediction of the genesis event.
