Tropical Cyclone Motion Studies
Abstract
The long-term goal is to improve the prediction of tropical cyclone track and structure so that warnings of the Fleet units afloat and ashore are optimized. Objectives: 1) Improve tropical cyclone track prediction by demonstrating that objective aids tailored to specific synoptic pattern/region combinations provide better guidance than existing objective aids. (2) Improve the specification of the initial outer wind structure in the tropical cyclones for numerical models and for forecaster understanding of the tropical cyclone-environment structure, and for use in surface wind warnings.
