The map below, is another view
of the track of Hurricane Camille, excluding most of
the track across the Atlantic Ocean to the United States. The
insert shows the official
"Forecast Displacement Error" from the National Hurricane
Center. The definition of
"Best Track" from the NHC Tropical Prediction Center
is...
"A subjectively smoothed
representation of a tropical cyclone's location and intensity
over its lifetime. The best track contains the cyclone's latitude,
longitude, maximum
sustained surface winds, and minimum sea-level pressure at 6-hourly
intervals.
Best track positions and intensities,
which are based on a Post-Storm Assessment
of all available data, may differ from values from values contained
in storm advisories.
They also generally will not reflect the erratic motion implied
by connecting individual
center fix positions." |
