Frequently Asked Questions About Hurricane Tracking
What is the difference between a hurricane, typhoon, and cyclone?
They are all the same meteorological phenomenon (tropical cyclone). "Hurricane" is used in the Atlantic/NE Pacific, "Typhoon" in the NW Pacific, and "Cyclone" in the South Pacific/Indian Ocean.
How is hurricane trajectory projected?
Trajectories are calculated using high-resolution supercomputer weather models (GFS, ECMWF) analyzing high-pressure ridges, ocean thermal energy, and steering jet streams.
