Description
A new hurricane forecasting system has launched, giving more accurate projections of a storm's path.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced its new Hurricane Forecast and Analysis as the newest numerical model and data assimilation system developed within the framework of the Unified Forecast System (UFS).
"The foundational component for this model is its moving nest, which allows the model to zoom in on hurricanes across the Atlantic and Pacific basins," NOAA explains. "The moving nest is like a high-definition TV that allows us to zoom into areas of a hurricane such as the eyewall and bands of intense rain."
The new system is already shown to give a more accurate track prediction.
