Genesis Forecast for Karl • NHC tracked the disturbance that became Karl in
its Graphical Tropical Weather Outlook—but did not increase the probability of genesis until the last few hours.
• But…..none of the models we studied (CMC, GFS, NOGAPS) predicted the genesis of Karl.
• The models did show an elongated area of low pressure near the genesis time. – But, the low was too weak to be classified as a TC.

Motivation
Forecasts of TC genesis are partly influenced by global numerical guidance.
It’s important to ask ourselves “How good is the guidance?”
Objective: Quantify the accuracy of TC genesis forecasts in numerical guidance.

Methodology • Code was developed to identify, track, and
classify all model-indicated TCs. • Each model-indicated TC genesis event
was classified as a hit, a false alarm, or an incorrect timing event (partial success).
• Classifications are based on comparisons with Best-Track entries.
• We define “Best-Track genesis” as the first entry in which a storm is designated a Tropical Depression or Tropical Storm.
• See Dan’s poster for more details

Next Step—Why don’t models do better? What physical processes are they missing? Results from GRIP and PREDICT will help provide answers.

KARL 16 Sept 2010 03Z Advisory 9
Forecast intensity at 9/18 00Z = 65 kt
Obs. peak intensity at 9/17 12Z = 110 kt
2% chance of this Too much reliance on model results ?

• Higher frequency more scattering by ice in deep convection lower TB
• Large 50.30/113.25 GHz TB differences indicate regions of deep convection (Brown et al. 2007)
