Hurricane Analysis and Prediction at the National Hurricane Center
Chris Landsea - NOAA/NWS/National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida
(biography)
"The National Hurricane Center issues analyses,
forecasts, and warnings over large parts of the North Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans, and in support of many nearby countries. Advances in
observational capabilities, operational numerical weather prediction,
and forecaster tools and support systems over the past 15–20 yr have
enabled the center to make more accurate forecasts, extend forecast lead
times, and provide new products and services. Important limitations,
however, persist. This presentation discusses the current workings and
state of the nation’s hurricane warning program, and highlights recent
improvements and the enabling science and technology. It concludes with a
look ahead at opportunities to address challenges."
