LIST OF MODELS (Updated: 8/26/11) Not all models appear for a given tropical cyclone. Model availability depends on jurisdiction and dissemination policies. NOTE: Actual TC tracks displayed may be variants of the base model, e.g. the GFS model tracks can be labeled 'AVNO', 'AVNI', 'AVN2' Any acronym with an 'I' as the last letter is the model run from 6 hours prior interpolated to the analysis time. Any acronym with a '2' as the last digit is the model run from 12 hour prior interpolated to the analysis time. ***OFFICIAL TRACKS AND VERIFICATION*** CARQ - Past short term TC Position OFCL - NHC official forecast JTWC - JTWC official forecast VERF - Verification (old model times only) ------------------------------------------ ***TRAJECTORY MODELS*** CLP5(C120) - Climatology-Persistence model A90E - NHC-90 statistic-dynamic model A98E - NHC-98 statistic-dynamic model A9UK - NHC-98 (UKMET version) BAMD(FBAM) - Beta and advection model, deep layer BAMM(MBAM) - Beta and advection model, medium layer BAMS(SBAM) - Beta and advection model, shallow layer LBAR - Limited area sine transform barotropic model WBAR - Weber barotropic model CSUM - CSU-84 statistical model ------------------------------------------ ***NUMERICAL WEATHER PREDICTION MODELS***  CMC - Canadian Meteorological Service Global Environmental Multiscale (GEM) model EGRR(UKM)(JUKM) - United Kingdom Meteorological Office (UKMET) model AVNO(JAVN) - National Centers for Environmental Prediction Global Forecast System (GFS) model NGPS(NGPR)(JNGP) - Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS) model  ECM(ECMF)(ECMO) - European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model JGSM(JJGS) - Japan Meteorological Agency Global Spectral Model (GSM) GFDL - Geophysical Fluid Dynamic Laboratory (GFDL) initialized with GFS GFDN - Navy version of Geophysical Fluid Dynamic Laboratory model initialized with NOGAPS HWRF - Hurricane Weather and Research Forecasting Model FSSE - Florida State University Super Ensemble  ETA - North American Mesoscale (NAM) model AFW1 - Air Force Weather Agency mesoscale model (MM5) COAL(COCE)(COWP)(COIN) - Naval Research Laboratory Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) model JTYM - Japan Meteorological Agency Typhoon Model PTRO - La Reunion (Meteo France) NWP model TCLP - Tropical Cyclone Limited Area Prediction System ------------------------------------------ ***NUMERICAL WEATHER PREDICTION ENSEMBLES*** AP## - Global Ensemble Forecast System member ## AEMN - Global Ensemble Forecast System mean PEST - Probabilistic Ensemble System for the Prediction of Tropical Cyclones ------------------------------------------ ***EXPERIMENTAL MODELS*** (CAUTION!
