Title: RAL | Tropical Cyclone Guidance Project | Home

URL: http://hurricanes.ral.ucar.edu/

Description: The aims of this project are: (a) to foster increased development of forecast aids for global basins by engaging the wider community of operational centers, academic researchers, and commercial interests; and (b) to go beyond track and intensity both by encouraging the development of forecast aids for structure change and by providing structure data for use in track and intensity projection methods. The site includes real time guidance and retrospective guidance.

Title: Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program (HFIP) | Home

URL: http://www.hfip.org/

Description: HFIP provides the basis for NOAA and other agencies to coordinate hurricane research needed to significantly improve guidance for hurricane track, intensity, and storm surge forecasts. It also engages and aligns the inter-agency and larger scientific community efforts towards addressing the challenges posed to improve hurricane forecasts. The goals of the HFIP are to improve the accuracy and reliability of hurricane forecasts; to extend lead time for hurricane forecasts with increased certainty; and to increase confidence in hurricane forecasts. These efforts will require major investments in enhanced observational strategies, improved data assimilation, numerical model systems, and expanded forecast applications based on the high resolution and ensemble-based numerical prediction systems. NCAR hosts the site on behalf of the HFIP project.
