  2. AODT The Advanced Objective Dvorak Technique JHT Status • Currently in Year-2 of support • Year-1 goals were achieved on-time • Delivery of initial AODT code to NOAA/CDB for • implementation within NAWIPS was completed successfully • Year-2 goals: Evaluate and refine N-AODT • New AODT version delivered to NOAA/CDB 31 January 2005 • to be implemented in time for upcoming Atlantic TC season

  3. AODT The Advanced Objective Dvorak Technique Latest Advancements • Improved, objective TC center determination • Spiral and Ring analysis schemes added to current methods • New strengthening/weakening constraints • Based on scene types; augment current rules in DT • Modified latitude bias MSLP adjustment scheme • Only applied with scene types based on IR cloud temperature • Added Radius of Maximum Wind (RMW) determination • Regression-based scheme from IR data in TCs with • well-defined eyes

  4. AODT The Advanced Objective Dvorak Technique Latest Advancements (cont.) • Enable user to add comments to history file • Up to 50 characters; can be viewed in history file listing • Restructured code as application library • Redefined code structure for integration into NAWIPS • as requested by NOAA/CDB • Easier future updates, version implements, etc.

  11. AODT The Advanced Objective Dvorak Technique Future Directions • Continue to work with TAFB analysts and TPC forecasters • to improve N-AODT performance • Conduct detailed statistical analysis of AODT performance • Identify AODT strengths and weaknesses, especially • with regards to scene type classifications • Provide periodic AODT updates to NOAA/CDB • Integrate AODT into satellite-based, multi-sensor TC intensity • estimation algorithm now under development • Poster by Velden et al.
