What: 2024 Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program (HFIP) Annual Meeting

When: November 12 to 15, 2024

How: Remote Registration Here
Note: The hotel block and in-person registration has been closed. Remote registration will be available through Noon EST Friday Nov 8, 2024.

Meeting Objectives: The primary objective of this meeting is to discuss key HFIP strategies and present Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System (HAFS) operational assessments from the v1 and v2 releases utilized in 2023 and 2024, as well as present and discuss early results & lessons learned from real-time developmental experiment results for future upgrades to HAFS. This information will be used to inform and outline the work required to foster developing efficient pathways toward a world-leading, reliable, and skillful model guidance on TC track and intensity (including rapid intensification), storm size, genesis, storm surge, rainfall, and tornadoes associated with TCs and Socio-Economic impacts. Additional objectives will include discussion of actionable plans to address 5- and 10-year goals and objectives of the 2025 HFIP Strategic Plan. These goals will focus on advancing forecast and communication of all hazards from TCs; and incorporate risk communication research to create more effective watch & warning, and probabilistic risk products with a focus on vulnerable communities and industries through the use of social, behavioral, and economic sciences. Additionally, approaches for further enhancement of the HAFS role as the UFS Hurricane application while fostering even deeper integration of ideas and potential from other aspects of the larger UFS community both inside and outside of the TC realm will be discussed.

We thank you for your continued support and participation in HFIP.
