This presentation details the diagnostics and methodology utilized
in preparing the NOAA (CPC/HRD/NHC) seasonal hurricane forecasts
for the 1999 Atlantic hurricane season. 1999 was forecast to
be "above average" in terms in frequency, intensity and duration
in both the early June and early August forecasts by NOAA. The
season, did in fact, turn out to be extremely active for intensity
and duration and somewhat above normal for total frequency of
tropical cyclones. A post-analysis of the season will be shown
to help determine how these characteristics came about.
