Forecast Aids for the Short to Intermediate Term

Deterministic Model Guidance - Track and Intensity

Ensemble Model Guidance

  • NOAA ESRL Demo Ensemble TC Tracker - track guidance for global basins for ECMWF, UKM, CEOS, and GFS ensemble systems, plus FIM
  • HFIP TC Ensembles (Michael Fiorino) - track guidance for global basins for NCEP GEFS, ESRL GFS (EnKF) , CMC CEPS, UKMO MOGREPS, and ECMWF EPS (TIGGE).
  • GA Tech Site - features track and intensity guidance from the ECMWF EPS (TIGGE) for the North Indian, West Pacific, and Australian Basins

Model Fields

Environmental Diagnostics

Remote Sensing Resources

General Sites Featuring Multi-Platform Satellite Imagery

  • NRL TC Portal - excellent resource from the Naval Research Lab--Monterey: features visible, IR, passive microwave, scatterometery, etc.
  • UW/CIMSS/SSEC TC Portal - features ability to overlay satellite imagery and various derived quantities such as satellite-derived wind shear and convergence on top of model tracks
  • NESDIS TC Products - features floater imagery for all global TC basins, as well as additional satellite-derived TC products

Satellite-based Intensity Estimates

Historical Tracks

  • Unisys Weather - features track plots for historical storms for global basins (back to 1851 for North Atlantic, 1945 for Western Pacific and South Indian Ocean, 1949 for Eastern Pacific)
  • NOAA Climate Services Track Generator - generate historical TC tracks with Google Maps
