HAFS Prototype

Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System (HAFS)

HAFS is the next-generation hurricane model which uses multi-scale multiple storm-following moving-model domain nests, coupled with ocean/wave models. HAFS is being developed to provide an operational analysis and forecast system out to 7-day lead times for hurricane forecasters giving them reliable, robust and skillful guidance on tropical cyclone (TC) track, intensity, storm size, genesis, storm surge, rainfall, and tornadoes associated with TCs.
