NEW
ADVANCED HURRICANE MODEL AIDS NOAA FORECASTERS —
NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Prediction
and its National Hurricane Center forecasters will now use the
Hurricane Weather and Research Forecast Model to predict the
track and strength of storms this hurricane season. Developed
by scientists at the NOAA Environmental Modeling Center, HWRF
is a new cutting-edge computer model that will serve as the
operational backbone for current and future hurricane track
and intensity forecasts by meteorologists at the National Hurricane
Center in Miami. |
