One of the keys to safe and successful naval operations in the tropics is a
thorough understanding of tropical meteorology. The Tropical Cyclone Forecasters
Reference Guide is designed primarily as a ready reference for midlatitude
forecasters required to provide tropical meteorology support to staff commanders.
This report provides a comprehensive overview of numerical forecast guidance used
to assess tropical cyclone motion and is Chapter 5 of the reference guide. Subjects
discussed include global and regional numerical modeling, major warning center
operations, tropical cyclone numerical forecast aids, numerical modeling terminology,
and applications of numerical forecast guidance to tropical cyclone forecasting.
