  19. COMING IN 2008 • USAF Civilianization (Update) • MARK IVB Continuation • Fix Bulletin Changes (Unified DoD/NOAA format, additional MANOPs, on website) • T-PARC & TCS-08 Participation • All Western North Pacific Warnings to 120 Hours • All Northern Indian Ocean Warnings to 72 Hours with 6-hourly Updates • Intensity Error Goals

  20. INTENSITY ERROR GOALS Standard Intensity Goals TAU 24 48 72 96 120 Goal 5 10 15 20 20 • • Standard goals are OK but… Assumption: A large intensity error on a weak/developing cyclone is worse than on a strong cyclone How to determine forecast intensity accuracy relative to cyclone strength? – Normalize by TAU 00 intensity • Absolute Intensity Normalized Error Intensity = ------------- Error TAU 00 Intensity

  21. NORMALIZED INTENSITY ERROR Absolute Intensity Normalized Error Intensity = ------------- Error TAU 00 Intensity Example: 35 knot cyclone with a 10, 35, and 50 knot error compared to a 90 knot cyclone with same errors 10 ---- = 0.11 90 35 ---- = 0.39 90 50 ---- = 0.56 90 10 ---- = 0.29 35 35 ---- = 1.00 35 50 ---- = 1.43 35 TAU Goal 24 0.20 48 0.25 72 0.30 96 0.35 120 0.40
