Experimental forecast guidance from the Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project (HFIP) is available to the public in a consolidated display page at http://www.hfip.org/products/. GSD provides web development services to HFIP and developed these web pages to display new data and products.
HFIP experimental research products support NOAA’s forecast services through improved hurricane forecast science and technology. More accurate and reliable forecasts are expected to lead to improved public response, saving life and property.
The NOAA Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project (HFIP) was established in June 2007 in response to particularly damaging hurricanes. HFIP unifies NOAA and other agencies to coordinate the hurricane research needed to significantly improve guidance for hurricane track, intensity, and storm surge forecasts and accelerate the transition from research to operations. HFIP focuses multi-organizational activities to research, develop, demonstrate and implement enhanced operational modeling capabilities, dramatically improving the numerical forecast guidance made available to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
