Since 1996 the Hurricane Research Division has operated the H*Wind
Project. The purpose was to devise computer programs to integrate
wind data in and around a hurricane from a variety of platforms
into a single wind analysis reduced to the surface. This product
could then be given to the hurricane specialists at the National
Hurricane Center to improve their understanding of the extent and
strength of the wind field, and to improve the forecast produced.
Training is underway to allow the specialists themselves to produce
these analyses in real time.
By clicking on a year listed above you may select from that year's
list of storms. You will see which analyses have been produced.
For each analysis time you may select the wind analysis itself,
the data set on which is was based, or, where available, the
gridded field of that analysis.
