NHC's non-public experiments in 2012

I was looking at the "Product Changes for the 2012 Hurricane Season (PDF)" document and noticed that behind the scenes this year they plan to work on five day formation forecasts. I had not heard that before. I think it is rather ambitious and I'm not quite sure how it would work. I bet it would be many years before it was public.
"In 2012, NHC will be working behind the scenes on potential enhancements to products and services. These planned in-house (non-public) experiments include extending tropical cyclone track and intensity forecasts out to seven days from the current five-day period, extending tropical cyclone formation forecasts out to five days from the current 48 hours, creation of track and intensity forecasts for disturbances with a high chance of formation, and the issuances of tropical cyclone warnings prior to the formation of a cyclone."
By the way, I wanted to say that last night was a great interview with James Spann. He is very dedicated to his work. |
