NCEP NOTES Assimilation of Tropical Cyclone Advisory Minimum Sea Level Pressure in the NCEP Global Data Assimilation System
The assimilation of official advisory minimum sea level pressure observations has been developed and tested in the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) to address forecaster concerns regarding some tropical systems being far too weak in operational Global Forecast System (GFS) analyses. The assimilation of these observations has been operat...
متن کاملTHE INTENSITY FORECASTING EXPERIMENT A NOAA Multiyear Field Program for Improving Tropical Cyclone Intensity Forecasts
M OTIVATION FOR IFEX. One of the key activities in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) strategic plan is to improve the understanding and prediction of tropical cyclones (TCs). The NOAA National Hurricane Center (NHC), a part of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), is responsible for forecasting TCs in the Atlantic and east Pacific basins, while N...
متن کاملEnsemble Forecasting at NCEP and the Breeding Method
The breeding method has been used to generate perturbations for ensemble forecasting at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (formerly known as the National Meteorological Center) since December 1992. At that time a single breeding cycle with a pair of bred forecasts was implemented. In March 1994, the ensemble was expanded to seven independent breeding cycles on the Cray C90 super...
متن کاملUsing TIGGE Data to Diagnose Initial Perturbations and Their Growth for Tropical Cyclone Ensemble Forecasts
Ensemble initial perturbations around Typhoon Sinlaku (2008) produced by ECMWF, NCEP, and the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) ensembles are compared using The Observing System Research and Predictability Experiment (THORPEX) Interactive Grand Global Ensemble (TIGGE) data, and the dynamical mechanisms of perturbation growth associated with the tropical cyclone (TC) motion are investigated for ...
متن کاملTropical cyclone track forecasting techniques: A review
Delivering accurate cyclone forecasts in time is of key importance when it comes to saving human lives and reducing economic loss. Difficulties arise because the geographical and climatological characteristics of the various cyclone formation basins are not similar, which entails that a single forecasting technique cannot yield reliable performance in all ocean basins. For this reason, global f...
