Keywords: hurricane katrina forecast improvements noaa cone uncertainty satellite nws One of the most iconic images of an approaching hurricane is what NOAA dubs the ‘cone,’ which is the probable area forecasters expect the eye of the tropical cyclone to strike. Since the 2005 hurricane season, NOAA has launched five new satellites, brought online new coastal observing systems, and made major breakthroughs in oceanic and atmospheric research--all of which has resulted in a remarkable 40% reduction in the margin of error of a hurricane’s expected track. Of course, regardless of the precise area of landfall, anyone in the vicinity of an approaching hurricane needs to listen to the instructions of local emergency officials and take action to stay safe. To learn more about NOAA’s advancements over the past 10 years in hurricane modeling, prediction, decision support and coastal resilience, see: www.noaanews.noaa.gov/advisories/071615-advisory-ten-year...
