| 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."
