Isaac Giving Local Researchers a Chance to Test New Tracking Model
Isaac is giving a team at Jackson State University in Mississippi the opportunity to test a tracking model that can predict a storm’s path with accuracy comparable to the National Weather Service.
The director of JSU’s Trent Lott Geospatial and Visualization Research Center tells The Clarion-Ledger the JSU model takes a statistical approach using about 100 years’ worth of historical data, including the previous paths of storms and the conditions that contributed to those storms.
The predicted path can be updated every two minutes, which is faster than models used by the National Weather Service.
The model is the brain child of visiting professor Venkata Dodla, a meteorologist and hurricane expert at JSU.
