CSU Project #: 5-31249
Sponsor: NOAA
Primary Investigator: Andrea Schumacher
Start Date: July 1st, 2009
End Date: June 30th, 2013

• Global Transition of Tropical Cyclone Forecast Products. Implementing new Global TCFP operationally at NESDIS .
• 48-Hour Global Tropical Cyclone Formation Probability (TCFP) Product. Begin development of 48-hour algorithm. Complete algorithm development, begin running experimentally in real-time at CIRA. Prepare code for operational implementation. Perform preliminary validation.
• NPP Microwave Sounder-based Tropical Cyclone Products. Began adapting current AMSU TC algorithms to use MIRS AMSU retrievals. Begin collecting ATMS radiance data (when available after NPP launch) for global tropical cyclones. Begin collecting MIRS ATMS soundings and limb corrected ATMS brightness temperatures, for global tropical cyclones.

• Satellite Algorithm Development, Training and Education
• Data Distribution
