Abstract: This paper is an examination of 2?3-day convective variability in the tropical Pacific region. The initial focus of the paper is on the western tropical Pacific during the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled ...

Abstract: Using 9 yr of IR brightness temperature values as a proxy for tropical convection, the climatology and statistics of the 2?3-day convective oscillation signal are examined. These higher-frequency oscillations are shown to ...

Abstract: relatively simple method to estimate tropical cyclone (TC) wind radii from routinely available information including storm data (location, motion, and intensity) and TC size is introduced. The method is based on a combination ...

Abstract: AbstractThe Joint Typhoon Warning Center?s (JTWC) forecast improvement goals include reducing 34-kt (1 kt = 0.514 m s?1) wind radii forecast errors, so accurate real-time estimates and postseason analysis of the 34-kt wind ...

Abstract: his study presents evaluation of real-time performance of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) operational Hurricane Weather Research and Forecast (HWRF) modeling system upgraded and implemented in 2013 ...

Abstract: his study documents the recent efforts of the hurricane modeling team at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction?s (NCEP) Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) in implementing the operational Hurricane Weather ...

Abstract: AbstractIn 2016, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center extended forecasts of gale-force and other wind radii to 5 days. That effort and a thrust to perform postseason analysis of gale-force wind radii for the ?best tracks? (the ...
