A STUDY OF PREDICTIVE MODELS FOR FORECASTING TROPICAL CYCLONE AND HURRICANE ACTIVITY OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO.Marine and Atmospheric Sciences A STUDY OF PREDICTIVE MODELS FOR FORECASTING TROPICAL CYCLONE AND HURRICANE ACTIVITY OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO Noun 1. Gulf of Mexico - an arm of the Atlantic to the south of the United States and to the east of Mexico Golfo de Mexico Atlantic, Atlantic Ocean - the 2nd largest ocean; separates North and South America on the west from Europe and Africa on the east Debmallo S. [Ghosh.sup.*][1], R.S. Reddy [1], and R.L. Miller [2], (1.) Jackson State University Jackson State University, often abridged as Jackson State or by its initials JSU is a historically black university located in Jackson, Mississippi founded in 1877. , Jackson, MS 39217 and (2.) NASA NASA: see National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA in full National Aeronautics and Space Administration Independent U.S. Stennis Space Center, MS 39529 Predictive models including a) a regression model and b) HurricanePredictive Index (HPI HPI abbr. history of present illness ) have been developed for predicting the origin and evolution of tropical cyclones and hurricanes over the Gulf of Mexico. These models describe the air-sea interactions and associated tropical cyclone and, hurricane activity using NOAA NOAA abbr. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Noun 1. NOAA - an agency in the Department of Commerce that maps the oceans and conserves their living resources; predicts changes to the earth's environment; GOES satellite data and data from buoys in the Gulf of Mexico. These models were tested for Hurricane Opal (1995) and Hurricane Gordon (2000), both formed and developed in the Gulf of Mexico. The models simulated and predicted the air-sea interactions and associated tropical cyclone/hurricane activity. |
