Progress continues on the production of real-time tropical cyclone products using temperature retrievals derived from the Advance Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU).  Current AMSU products include the surface pressure field, cloud liquid water, and azimuthally-averaged temperature and gradient winds.  This project has been so successful that an effort to re-analyze the 1998 hurricane season data has begun.  The products along with the data swath, storm position, and a matching IR image may be viewed at:

Information concerning the likelihood of tropical cyclone genesis in the tropical Atlantic Ocean is now updated daily and available on the world wide web.  All products are updated daily and are available at: http://www.cira.colostate.edu/ramm/gparm/genesis.asp  See Tropical Cyclone section for details

A loop showing 15-min accumulations and a graph showing the corresponding number of E-911 phone calls for the night of the Fort Collins flood have been added to J. Weaver's web presentation on the flood.  The new material can be accessed at:  http://www.cira.colostate.edu Choose "Flash Flood" from the menu, choose Weaver presentation, then go to "Late Evening Rain" for the accumulations loops, or "Runoff and Rain Totals" for the E-911 graphs.
