Abstract
An objective scheme for forecasting the motion of tropical cyclones (MOHATT) , under development since 1967 by the U.S. Navy Fleet Numerical Weather Central and the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, Calif., is described and applied to the 1967-71 North Atlantic tropical cyclones for forecast intervals up to 72 hr. The MOHATT scheme involves steering of the center of the cyclone by geostrophic winds derived from heavily smoothed isobaric height fields (both analyzed and prognostic) and a statistical correction determined by the behavior of the first 12 hr of the steering forecast. The developmental sample (1967-70) used to establish the potential accuracy of MOHATT indicates 700 mb as the optimum steering level, but the fully operational test in 1971 suggests that the 850-mb level may be an improvement for forecast intervals beyond 36 hr.

    Application of the Navy's numerical hurricane and typhoon forecast scheme to 1967 Atlantic tropical-storm data 

    Renard, Robert Joseph (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1969-03-15); NPS-51RD9031A
    Renard recently reported on a numerical scheme for predicting the motion of tropical storms for intervals up to 72 hours. The forecast technique is applied in two steps. First, numerical geostrophic steering of the cyclone ...

    A numerical investigation of mesoscale predictability 

    Beattie, Jodi C. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2003-03);
    As mesoscale models increase in resolution there is a greater need to understand predictability on smaller scales. The predictability of a model is related to forecast skill. It is possible that the uncertainty of one scale ...

    Forecasting tropical cyclone recurvature using an empirical orthogonal function representation of the synoptic forcing. 

    Lage, Thomas D. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1982-12);
    Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) representation of the synoptic forcing is combined with past meridional and zonal displacements (persistence) to forecast tropical cyclone recurvature at 36, 54 and 72 h. Recurvature ...
