4 An Improved Wind Probability Program: A Joint Hurricane Testbed Project Update Mark DeMaria and John Knaff, NOAA/NESDIS, Fort Collins, CO Stan Kidder, CIRA/CSU, Fort Collins, CO Patrick Harr, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA Chris Lauer, NCEP/TPC, Miami, FL Presented at the Interdepartmental Hurricane Conference March 5, 2008
5 Monte Carlo Wind Probability Model Estimates probability of 34, 50 and 64 kt wind to 5 days Implemented at NHC/JTWC for 2006 hurricane season Replaced Hurricane Strike Probabilities 1000 track realizations from random sampling NHC track error distributions Intensity of realizations from random sampling NHC intensity error distributions Special treatment near land Wind radii of realizations from radii CLIPER model and its radii error distributions Serial correlation of errors included Probability at a point from counting number of realizations passing within the wind radii of interest TCC 2009
6 MC Probability Example Hurricane Ike 7 Sept UTC 1000 Track Realizations 64 kt h Cumulative Probabilities TCC 2009
7 Project Tasks 1. Improved Monte Carlo wind probability program by using situation-depending track error distributions Track error depends on Goerss Predicted Consensus Error (GPCE) 2. Improve timeliness by optimization of MC code 3. Update NHC wind speed probability table product Extend from 3 to 5 days Update probability distributions (currently based on )
8 Wind Speed Probability Table
9 Wind Speed Probability Table Developed by E. Rappaport and M. DeMaria as part of original NHC graphical products Limitations addressed by JHT project Based on NHC error statistics Extends only to 3 days Other limitations Does not directly account for land interaction Inconsistent with other probability products from MC model Rick Knabb and Dan Brown suggestion*: Use output from MC model as table input Addresses all of the above limitations Will automatically update when MC model updates *via Dave Thomas
10 Wind Speed Probability Table Evaluation Procedure Examine MC model intensity probability distributions for idealized storms Compare MC intensity probabilities with WSPT values for real forecasts Frances 29 Aug UTC Katrina 24 Aug UTC Katrina 27 Aug UTC Ernesto 29 Aug UTC Ernesto 29 Aug UTC Humberto 12 Sep UTC Humberto 12 Sep UTC Ingrid 13 Sep UTC
11 Wind Speed Probability Table Idealized Storm Cases Straight west track far from land Three cases: Constant max wind of 30, 90 and 150 kt Straight north track close to land Three cases: Constant max wind of 30, 90 and 150 kt

13 Forecast-Dependent Probabilities Operational MC model uses basin-wide track error distributions Can situation-dependent track distributions be utilized? Track plots courtesy of J. Vigh, CSU
14 Goerss Predicted Consensus Error (GPCE) Predicts error of CONU track forecast Consensus of GFDI, AVNI, NGPI, UKMI, GFNI GPCE Input Spread of CONU member track forecasts Initial latitude Initial and forecasted intensity Explains 15-50% of CONU track error variance GPCE estimates radius that contains ~70% of CONU verifying positions at each time
15 Use of GPCE in the MC Model database of GPCE values created by NRL* Are GPCE radii correlated with NHC and JTWC track errors? GPCE designed to predict CONU error How can GPCE values be used in the MC model? MC model uses along/cross track error distributions *Buck: Domestic or Imported?

21 Summary Code optimization is complete Factor of 6 speed up Wind speed table product input from MC model is a reasonable approach Implementation in 2008 GPCE-dependent MC model is promising Further evaluation needed Real time parallel runs in Aug 2008?
22 Monte Carlo Wind Probability Application: Objective Warning/TC-COR Guidance Goal: Develop an objective hurricane warning scheme based on wind probabilities (Atlantic) Approach: land-threatening Atlantic TCs as development sample Examined 64-kt, 36-h cumulative MC wind probabilities versus NHC hurricane warnings over sample Choose probability thresholds P up = when hurricane warnings issued P down = when hurricane warnings dropped Thresholds chosen by maximizing the fit (by R 2, MAE, averages) of the total distance warned and the total duration of warnings per storm between the scheme and NHC official warnings Imposed condition that scheme could not miss any official warnings TCC
23 Experimental TC-COR Guidance For Atlantic, p up = 8.0%, p down = 0.0% Objective warning scheme verified well with NHC warnings MCP NHC Average Distance Warned per TC (mi) Average Warning Duration per TC (hr) MCP Objective vs. NHC MAE, Distance (mi) / Duration (hr) 65 / 5 E.g. NHC (top) and objective scheme (bottom) warnings for Hurricane Gustav, R 2, Distance 0.94 / 0.74 Used similar methodology to develop similar schemes for TC- COR (64-kt winds at t=24, 36, 60, and 84 h) TCC

THEY ARE OBJECTIVE GUIDANCE FOR ONSET OF 50 KT WINDS AT NAVY INSTALLATIONS. EACH SITE HAS ITS OWN SENSITIVITIES, WHICH THESE TC-COR SETTINGS DO NOT ADDRESS.
