Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential
  • Fields compare well on global scale
  • Comparison with in situ data shows roughly
    comparable errors

Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential
NCEP GODAS
AOML ASTEP
  • GODAS and AOMLTCHP just before Hurricane Katrina
    (Aug 2005)
  • The Gulf warm core eddy is missing in the GODAS
    fields
  • Lack of mesoscale features in GODAS limits its
    utility for TC intensity forecasts

How well the ocean observing system is supporting
this work ? Altimetry excellently In-situ
observations good in some areas, bad in others
(Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico) Recommend
ations Support the continuation of high
precision altimetry missions resolve
mesoscale Improve the observing system for
tropical cyclone intensification studies
