Forecast & Tracking Questions
Posted by TuffyE on 8/26/2011, 1:37 pm
In playing with the data, I noticed an odd thing (to me) and the need for something.

1.  Probably obvious, but....  The NHC position statements never correspond with a previous point-in-time foreast?  For example, their forecast points today have been 0000Z, 0600Z, and 1200Z but their current position points are 0300Z and 0900Z?  We never actually see a position to compare with a previous forecast?

2.  Anyone have a good calcuation method for distance between two map coordinates?  I'll try google but sure that someone has an obvious method that I don't.
