Talk:Tropical cyclone forecast model
|
An entry from Tropical cyclone forecast model appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 22 February, 2006. |  |
I propose a name change
I think this page should be "Tropical_cyclone_forecast_model" rather than with the word "prediction." I think it is important to note that meteorologists forecast the weather and do not predict the weather. It might seem like a minor point, but it is a rather significant difference. 4.136.81.238 05:32, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- I use Weather_prediction as an example, which redirects into Weather_forecasting. I know some of the models have "Prediction" in there name, but I am sure some wish that was not the case. (Although, most of the general public doesn't know the names of the models) I have changed instances relating to "prediction" to "forecasting" and if no one objects I'll change the name of this page and redirect the then old page to the new one, unless someone does it first. 4.136.81.238 05:46, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Expansion todo
Still need to finish adding model info from the 2005 Verification report and more details on each individual model. --AySz88^-^ 05:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Possible changes
I think that it might be good to rename this tropical cyclone forecasting and then make it a spinoff from the tropical cyclone article. The current content could just be part of that larger article. Things that could then be included are: statistical predictions, as is done or the seasonal outlooks, these models, past forecast accuracy, the step by step process that goes into making a forecast, and other stuff.

- I like that idea. Then, you can talk about manual techniques as well. Thegreatdr 12:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- ...or on second thought, this article could be left as-is while another article concerning tropical cyclone forecasting is created. Chances are, we would need a subarticle on the track models anyhow. Thegreatdr 15:53, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
