FNMOC provides links to satellite imagery of tropical cyclones (TCWEB) and current tropical storm forecast tracks. FNMOC is composed of military and civilian personnel. The team consists of specialists in meteorology, oceanography, computer science, and Fleet operations.
The Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) is a research institute where scientists study the use of data from geostationary and polar orbit weather satellites to improve forecasts of weather (including tropical cyclones and severe storms.
^α Although Luis produced the highest confirmed wave height for a tropical cyclone, it is possible that Hurricane Ivan produced a wave measuring 131 feet (40 m). [41]^β It is believed that reconnaissance aircraft overestimated wind speeds in tropical cyclones from the 1940s to the 1960s, and data from this time period is generally considered unreliable.
A tropical cyclone tracking chart is used by those within hurricane-threatened areas to track tropical cyclones worldwide. In the north Atlantic basin, they are known as hurricane tracking charts . New tropical cyclone information is available at least every six hours in the Northern Hemisphere and at least every twelve hours in the Southern ...
A tropical cyclone forecast model is a computer program that uses meteorological data to forecast aspects of the future state of tropical cyclones. There are three types of models: statistical, dynamical, or combined statistical-dynamic. [ 1 ]
[68] [69] Tropical Cyclone Lincoln formed on 16 February and made landfall on the Gulf of Carpentaria coast. [70] Severe Tropical Cyclone Neville formed north of the Cocos Islands [71] on 1 March and left the basin 20 days later. [72] Severe Tropical Cyclone Megan formed on 13 March from a tropical low over the coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria ...
Other tropical cyclone centers in Australia and Canada developed similar software in the 1990s. The data files with ATCF lie within three decks, known as the a-, b-, and f-decks. The a-decks include forecast information, the b-decks contain a history of center fixes at synoptic hours, and the f-decks include the various fixes made by various ...
This is a list of the wettest tropical cyclones, listing all tropical cyclones known to have dropped at least 1,270 millimetres (50 in) of precipitation on a single location. Data is most complete for Australia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Japan, Hong Kong , Mexico, Yap , Chuuk , and the United States, with fragmentary data available for other ...
