2. Multi-model ensemble forecasts of Sandy
Multi-model version of the track and strike probability plots –now available for SWFDP.
Combines track forecasts from Met Office (UKMO), ECMWF and NCEP(USA)

3. Additional tropical cyclone products
Time series of forecast measures of cyclone intensity
NB. Although these forecasts give a good indication of the intensification of Sandy, global ensemble models are currently too coarse for quantitatively accurate TC intensity forecasts.

4. Task 4.3 challenge Forecasting severe weather
SWFDP survey confirmed the need for near real-time version of severe weather products
Joint proposal developed by Met Office, JMA, MRI.
High-priority subset of products to be generated in real time at Met Office, then transferred to SWFDP users.

5. Near real-time processing of SW products
Current delayed-mode processing shown in red.
Planned real-time processing in green.
