About ATCF
The Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecasting System (ATCF), developed
by NRL Monterey, is a computer based application designed to automate and
optimize the forecasting process at operational U.S. Navy tropical cyclone
warning centers. ATCF was initially installed on PC DOS based computers
at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) in 1988. ATCF 5.1, installed
at NHC during 2010, has six- and seven-day forecast capability. ATCF 5.2
will be installed at JTWC and NHC in 2011.
