TCRM - usersClimatologists
Meteorologists
Natural hazard researchers
with limited or no programming experience
TCRM – configuration file
Input file – IBTrACS global database of tropical cycloneswww.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/ibtracs
Domain – Country/Division/Location
Track Generator - No of years to simulate
Hazard – Return periods (25, 50, 100, 200, 250, 500….)
Why Model?
To better understand the risk and potential impacts of these natural hazard on our communities
Increase resilience
Could be used to improve early warning procedures for TCs, in this case
May want to look at how different TC hazards affect areas of interest
