GRIP Hurricane Forecast Tracks from 2010 Field Campaign

Model forecast tracks for tropical cyclones archived during the NASA Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) field campaign. Data covers the 2010 Atlantic/Pacific hurricane season from August 12 to November 14, originating from a tri-agency effort involving NASA, NSF, and NOAA. Files include 5-day consensus forecasts in ASCII text and 5- to 10-day forecasts in KML format for visualization.

Use Cases

• Comparing 5-day consensus model forecasts against observed storm tracks.
• Visualizing 5- to 10-day forecast tracks in geospatial applications using KML files.
• Analyzing forecast performance during the 2010 hurricane season for specific storm events.
• Studying the relationship between model forecasts and rapid intensification processes.

Strengths

• Data originates from a coordinated 2010 tri-agency field campaign involving NASA, NSF, and NOAA.
• Provides forecast tracks with a specific temporal coverage from August 12 to November 14, 2010.
• Includes multiple forecast horizons: 5-day consensus and extended 5- to 10-day model forecasts.

Limitations

• Exact row count, file size, and complete column schema are unknown across all sources.
• Sources conflict on the last updated date: one states 2026-03-13, another states 2010-11 14.
• Data is limited to a single hurricane season and specific field campaign period.
