SPSD Tropical Program Products:

Dvorak Classifications
	Subjective position and intensity estimates of tropical disturbances and cyclones across the globe using the internationally recognized Dvorak technique. ATCF Format ATCF Info\|ATCF Format Description

Satellite Imagery
	Static and animated imagery of GOES-East imagery covering tropical disturbances, tropical cyclones and Atlantic areas of interest provided by NESDIS/STAR. Main Page \| Tropical Atlantic Imagery

Bulletins
	Text bulletins disseminated by 0400Z, 1000Z, 1600Z, and 2200Z describing the position and intensity estimates for tropical disturbances and tropical cyclones in the Eastern and Southern Hemispheres.

Microwave Positions
	Subjective position estimates of tropical disturbances and cyclones across the globe using a variety of microwave sensors. ATCF Format

MTCSWA
	MTCSWA combines information from several data sources to create a mid-level wind analysis which is then adjusted to the surface. Eight products are displayed, most notably an inner core scale surface wind analysis.

TCFP
	The Tropical Cyclone Formation Probability Product provides an estimate of the probability of tropical cyclone formation within the next 24 hours in 1 by 1 degree latitude/longitude areas from 45S to 45N and 0 to 360E.

Outside Tropical Products:

Brazil National Institute of Meteorology*
	The Brazil National Institute of Meteorology is responsible for issuing the official warning for tropical cyclones in the South Atlantic Basin.

NCEP International Desk
	NOAA's Hydrometeorological Prediction Center provides visiting scientists meteorological training with an emphasis on the operational use and application of numerical model products.
