• A10 year project to cut errors in hurricane forecasts in half.• At the end of ten years the error in forecasts of landfall after 5 days will be less than 80 miles• About what they are now at two days. • If this accuracy had been available during Katrina the final landfall in New Orleans could have been forecast to within 80 miles five days ahead.On leave from NCAR for 4 years to work on the project and will likely retire after that.
