TA Doppler True Vmax vs. along-track Vmax UNDER SAMPLING ISSUE

CONCLUSIONS o A 9-year SFMR data set from , where SFMR mainly not assimilated in real time, shows that Best Track estimates of maximum wind over-estimated SFMR maximum wind estimates by 10-17%. o However, in 2007 when SFMR assimilated in real time, half the points are overestimates and half are underestimates, suggesting on average that Best Track and SFMR estimates are now aligned with each other. o With 3-5 AFRC aircraft flying in 2007, 31 inter-comparison cases were amassed, plus 3 from NOAA aircraft, whereas 9 years were required for 54 comparison cases in developmental data set. In 2008, all 10 AFRC WC-130J aircraft will be flying SFMRs in addition to the two NOAA P3s as well as the NOAA G-IV. o We are at a historic turning point in history for improving hurricane intensity observation and forecasting where the capability to observe the TC surface wind domain matches the improved coupled model capabilities to assimilate and model it. This alignment should provide the next best opportunity for improving hurricane intensity and structure forecasting.
