UK Met Office forecast tropical cyclone tracks

Post by ianp »

Hi folks,

The currently available forecast tracks for tropical cyclones here: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/data/tropi ... wtnt80.txt
is reporting that will soon be discontinued.

THIS BULLETIN IS DUE TO BE DISCONTINUED SINCE BULLETINS ARE NOW
AVAILABLE WHICH PROVIDE EXPLICIT GUIDANCE ON CENTRAL PRESSURE
AND MAXIMUM WIND SPEED.

The new format is available here: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/data/tropi ... wtnt82.txt

The "Hurricane tracks" in the data menu will have to look there when the original source is discontinued.

Tim - is that a fix we can implement??

I forgot to add that the data retrieval window points to: https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/raw/wt/wtnt80.egrr..txt, that's fixable.
But the format of the bulletin is different from the original, so will DA find what it needs to plot in the new format?

Cheers,
Ian
