EMC/MMM/DTC Joint Hurricane Workshop

This one-day event was composed of invited scientific talks on numerical weather prediction for tropical storms. These talks covered a range of topics such as general and operational hurricane modeling, use of numerical guidance in hurricane forecasting, synoptic- and vortex-scale data assimilation, observations used in hurricane modeling, and model diagnostics. The intent of these talks was to provide some perspective on the hurricane modeling systems.
