Tropical Cyclone Evaluation Methodology Dataset

This dataset includes Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecast (ATCF) format ASCII files. These data are a subset of files from the Hurricane Forecast Improvement project (HFIP) Stream 1.5 evaluation covering three years of retrospective forecasts from 2010-2012. The best track analysis (b-decks), operational baselines (a-deck), and experimental Stream1.5 model output included can be used as example data to perform tropical cyclone model forecast evaluations, following Brown et al, 2023: User-responsive diagnostic verification methods for evaluating tropical cyclone track and intensity forecasts.
