Hurricane Forecasts Rely on Modeling the Past

The video discusses the importance of modeling past storms to improve future forecasts. It highlights the use of ensemble forecasts to understand uncertainty and the role of reanalyzing historical storms in testing forecast models. The collaboration between NASA and NOAA is emphasized for better data sharing and forecasting. The video also covers the impact of accurate forecasts on public trust and decision-making, and the use of NASA's GMI to analyze hurricane structures. Finally, it discusses ongoing improvements in global models to better represent hurricanes.
