It was based on a simplified set of atmospheric dynamical equations (the equivalent ...
The HWRF computer model is the operational backbone for hurricane track and intensity forecasts by the National Hurricane Center (NHC). [2] The model will use data from satellite observations, buoys, and reconnaissance aircraft, making it able to access more meteorological data than any other hurricane model before it. [2] The model will ...
