Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting Model
The Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) model is a specialized version of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and is used to forecast the track and strength of tropical cyclones. The model was developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, the University of Rhode Island, and Florida State University.[1] It became operational in 2007.
