Session 8C 50th Anniversary of the Dvorak Technique

Tuesday, 7 May 2024: 4:45 PM-6:00 PM
Beacon B (Hyatt Regency Long Beach)
Host: 36th Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology
Chair:
Sim D. Aberson, Science History Institute, Philadelphia, PA
CoChair:
Roger T. Edson

The original description of the Dvorak Technique was published in a NOAA Tech Memo in 1973 and in MWR two years later.  Given the importance of this innovation and its use globally, it would be good to have a session concerning the development of the Dvorak Technique, innovations since then, and the importance of the technique in global TC forecasting.
