Using NOGAPS Singular Vectors to Diagnose Large-Scale Influences on Tropical Cyclogenesis

Abstract

The overarching goal is to improve our understanding of synoptic-scale influences on tropical cyclone (TC) formation and motion in the western North Pacific Ocean, in the context of error growth in forecast models. Benefits to the Navy would include improved forecast skill of the structure and track of developing and recurving TCs.
