[gradsusr] HurriCone

[Jennifer M Adams]

Hi, Everyone —
I have been working on a new graphic for ensemble forecasts of storm tracks because I find that the traditional ‘cone of uncertainty’ does not have enough of the information I want to see when a major storm is in the forecast. The HurriCone is based on the 0.5-degree GEFS data and the GIS products from the NHC. Attached below is the latest version; earlier incarnations are at http://cola.gmu.edu/cone.html. The web page and the scripts are still in development. I plan to post the scripts I am using to create the graphic on the web page when they are in a final, more polished state so that anyone can draw a HurriCone if they want to. Feedback is welcome!
—Jennifer
