Advanced Wind Estimation (AWE).
More accurate wind speed / damage
estimates by taking into account surface friction. |

 |
"True" Pan and Zoom Interface.
We now offer "true" Pan
and Zoom capabilities. Now, after “building” an image with several tracking
selections…you can zoom in, zoom out, or move the map. Regardless, all
of your tracking selections remain!
 |
 |
Native Google Earth support. In
addition to the graphics interface above, this function export KML (Google
Earth's native language) that represents a significant number of a storm's
observed and forecast parameters.
 |
 |
Expanded Google Earth Information.
In addition to the LARGE
amount of hurricane information that the user is able to export from the
HURRTRAK system, you can also
superimpose National Weather Service information on the same
Google Earth “image”.

Summary Report Google Earth Export with live web
cams
With the summary report
export, you have the ability to view a "live" web cam image of the
location being analyzed! The system is pre-loaded with about 100 web cams
links. Alternatively, you may choose to override these locations and define
your own live or static images!
 |
 |
Expanded Historical Storm Databases.
The system has
all storm databases from 1851 to 2007 with wind radii! They are accessible
from the main tracking program (i.e. not just the History module).
The wind radii data is estimated for storms from 1851-1980
 |
 |
Damage Comments.
The summary impact report which details
expected wind speeds for locations has a damage comment column which
describes the likely damage using either the Saffir-Simpson scale or a
modified Texas Tech University scale.
 |
 |
Integration with
Google Earth. This function provides
the ability to export just about all of the system graphics and display them
on Google Earth.  |
 |
AWE Wind Pattern graphic which shows the
Advanced wind pattern field around the storm.
|
 |
New
Animated
Wind Pattern graphic. Same idea as above but now it can be
animated. |
 |
Support of
National Hurricane Center Wind
Probabilities |
 |
Utilize a 30 meter Slosh
Elevation database. This allows for detailed SLOSH Inundation
Analysis |
 |
"Executive" Style Impact Summary Reports.
 |
 |
Point and Click Reports.
|
 |
Zip Code Wind Thematic. Similar to the county
wind thematic except at a much more detailed level of zip code..
|
 |
Multi-colored wind arrows showing the storm's
wind vectors. |
 |
Additional
Extensive reporting capabilities  |
 |
Overlay past storm tracks on
the same chart as a current storm. |
 |
SLOSH Inundation location reports. This allows the
user to analyze specific locations to
determine the storm surge flooding potential.
|
 |
Utilize an extensive historical
analysis system which includes data from 1851 to 2006. It allows the user to search
for storms by Name, Year, Intensity and Location (i.e. all storms in the past 75 years
that passed within 27 miles of Miami, FL in the month of September). It will then allow
the user to depict the selected storm tracks as well as display highly detailed storm
data. |
