Is there any hope for tropical cyclone intensity prediction? : a panel discussion.
Material type:
TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 1992Description: 12 p. : illSubject: The outlook for tropical cyclone intensity forecasts from operational and from research perspectives was discussed during a panel discussion at the 19th Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology. Whereas the operational requirement at the National Hurricane Center is to predict maximum 1-min sustained wind speeds at specific locations, the research community is addressing the prediction of the maximum wind or minimum sea level pressure in the storm. Commonality was found in the forecast strategies for subjectively predicting storm intensity. The panelists suggested improvements may be gained from additional observations, better conceptual and theoretical models of storm structure and behavior, and enhancements in statistical and numerical models.
