• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

A Nice Hurricane Tracking Site

Hello,

Although the season is winding down, a friend of mine has completed making a very nice web-based tracking/forecast product for storms across the Northern Hemisphere (he is working on the entire globe):
http://einstein.atmos.colostate.edu/~mcnoldy/tropics/atcf/index2.html
http://einstein.atmos.colostate.edu/~mcnoldy/tropics/atcf/

This page keeps all track histories for systems being advised, and includes "invests". (This is based on NHC and JTWC's ATCFs.) This page also has the official guidance. Although all this info is provided elsewhere, no where have I found such a site that offers such a nice convenient global overview. Click on the map to zoom in on an ocean basin.

Thanks for this cool, global link! Too bad the Atlantic Basin isn't as colourful as some of the others:(

Yep, Brian is 'The Man'. I've chased with him a number of times. It's great that we have learned people like him coming up in the ranks.
 
Now we just need to get another tropical cyclone to develop in the S. Atlantic :) This is a very cool site, nice to see at a glance what is going on globally!
