The Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecasting System, or ATCF, is a piece of software originally developed to run on a personal computer by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) beginning in 1986, and used since 1988.[1] It was adapted for use at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in 1990, and remains the main piece of forecasting software used for the United States Government, including the JTWC, NHC, and Central Pacific Hurricane Center.
