The newer research tools reach layers in the storm the hurricane hunters aircraft can’t, including the critical space near the surface where the atmosphere and hurricane interact with the ocean.
The Hurricane Rainband and Intensity Change Experiment (RAINEX) is a project to improve hurricane intensity forecasting via measuring interactions between rainbands and the eyewalls of tropical cyclones. The experiment was planned for the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season.
Project Stormfury was officially canceled more than a decade after the last modification experiment. Although the project failed to achieve its goal of reducing the destructiveness of hurricanes, its observational data and storm lifecycle research helped improve meteorologists' ability to forecast the movement and intensity of hurricanes.
This map shows the tracks of all tropical cyclones which formed worldwide from 1985 to 2005. The map was created with the WPTC track map generator by Nilfanion.. The track map generator program generates a track map from the NHC HURDAT data, [A 1] or from Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecast (ATCF) B-deck data files (commonly referred to as "best track" files).

The Department of Commerce leased two Douglas DC-6 aircraft and received a Martin B-57 Canberra jet from the Air Force so that NHRP could continue to carry out airborne experiments on hurricanes. [2] The combination of research project, forecast center, and aircraft facility was dubbed the " National Hurricane Center " (NHC).
NOAA also projects the proportion of hurricanes that reach the most intense levels — Category 4 or 5 — could rise by about 10% this century. To date, less than a fifth of storms have reached ...
