Here’s what to know about the difference between the weather alerts.
The first dynamical hurricane track forecast model, the Sanders Barotropic Tropical Cyclone Track Prediction Model (SANBAR), [9] was introduced in 1970 and was used by the National Hurricane Center as part of its operational track guidance through 1989. It was based on a simplified set of atmospheric dynamical equations (the equivalent ...
The predictions made for two of the most recent powerful tropical systems -- Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton -- were near-precise, Marshall Shepherd, director of the Atmospheric Sciences ...
