A Revised Technique for Forecasting Hurricane Movement by Statistical Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
The NHC-64 statistical equations for predicting the movement of hurricanes have been in operational use for 4 yr. These equations have continued to perform well. Following the 1966 hurricane season, however, it was apparent that the equations could be improved. A new forecast technique, based on additional data and additional predictors, has been derived. Tests on independent data for 1966 and on an operational basis during 1967 indicate that the 1967 method is slightly superior t o NHC-64. B

Prediction of Hurricane Motion by Statistical Methods
Equations for the prediction of hurricane tracks have been developed by use of statistical methods. Data at sea level, 700 mb., and 500 mb. were selected as predictors. Forecasts are prepared in 12-hr. steps for periods up to 48 hr. The forecast equations have been tested on an operational basis during the 1964 and 1965 hurricane seasons. The accuracy of these forecasts compares favorably with ...
متن کاملBivariate Splines for Hurricane Path Forecasting
Every year, hurricanes cause a lot of damage, especially, when they hit cities along the coast line. A notorious example is Hurricane Katrina in 2005 which hit New Orleans and damaged the city significantly. Human intervention cannot change the path of a hurricane. Hence the best possible way to reduce the damage is to predict the path of the hurricane and avoid direct contact. The formation, m...
متن کاملAn Updated Statistical Hurricane Intensity Prediction Scheme (SHIPS) for the Atlantic and Eastern North Pacific Basins
Updates to the Statistical Hurricane Intensity Prediction Scheme (SHIPS) for the Atlantic basin are described. SHIPS combines climatological, persistence, and synoptic predictors to forecast intensity changes using a multiple regression technique. The original version of the model was developed for the Atlantic basin and was run in near–real time at the Hurricane Research Division beginning in ...
متن کاملForecasting Final Schedule and Cost of Projects by Using Statistical and Mathematical Method
Earned value management (EVM) has prepared some methods to forecast final costs of projects. These methods were not developed since the start of formation and were gradually completed, of course with one exception that is its authenticity, they are still remained unchanged. At the present time EVM guide does not apply from schedule indices to forecast schedule for completion of project and ...
متن کامل“optimal” Conditions for Rapid Intensifications of Tropical Cyclones
Rapidly intensifying (RI) tropical cyclones (TC) are the major error sources in TC intensity forecasting. In order to improve the estimates of RI probability, association rules as a data mining technique are used here to facilitate the process of looking for candidate sets of conditions which have strong interactions with rapidly intensifying TCs. Compared to the relation analysis method, the t...
