Abstract

The performance of a multigrid barotropic tropical cyclone track model (MUDBAR) is compared to that of a current operational barotropic model (LBAR). Analysis of track forecast errors for the 2001 Atlantic hurricane season shows that MUDBAR gives accuracy similar to LBAR with substantially lower computational cost. Despite the use of a barotropic model, the MUDBAR forecasts show skill relative to climatology and persistence (CLIPER) out to 5 days.
