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.
