5 Interesting Hurricane Tracking Charts

Published: August 19th, 2007 by John | Comments |

Here is a list of gCaptain’s picks for the most interesting ways to track Hurricane Dean.

1) IBISeye.com’s Hurricane Tracker. Click on past and future tracking points for more detail on the storm.

2) Unisys’s 2007 Hurricane Tracks. This chart shows the complete tracks of all 2007 Atlantic ocean hurricanes to date.

3) Predicted Routes Chart. Plotted by Southern Florida’s weather center this chart overlays the different computer predictions onto one chart. Mostly it shows how inaccurate computer based weather modeling is today.

4) NOAA Satellite Image of Hurricane Dean. Click on the photo to see the Hi Resolution version.

5) NOAA’s GEOS IR Loop showing satellite IR views of Hurricane Dean.

Interesting article on Graphic #3. I'll have to find a better modeling graphic for our weather dashboard.

Graphic #3 includes a lot of outdated/unused/inapplicable models, so it really isn't an indication of how inaccurate it is *today* - though maybe perhaps over history. Wunderground has a nice summary of the models here: http://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/models.asp

Very interesting and sure beats the weather fax data.

I agree with link #2... Weather Underground. They have some powerful charts that are easy to use.

Another of my favorite tropical weather link sites is:
