SPSD Tropical Program Products:

Dvorak Classifications		Tropical Cyclone Floaters
	Subjective position and intensity estimates of tropical disturbances and cyclones across the globe using the internationally recognized Dvorak technique.		Static and animated imagery of tropical disturbances and cyclones. Users have the ability to overlay a variety of data on animated imagery loops. Storm Floaters \| Atlantic Imagery

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

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.

Outside Tropical Products:

Brazil National Institute of Meteorology*		NCEP International Desk
	The Brazil National Institute of Meteorology is responsible for issuing the offical warning for tropical cyclones in the South Atlantic Basin.		NOAA's Hydrometeorological Prediction Center provides visiting scientists meteorological training with an emphasis on the operational use and application of numerical model products.

NOAA Environmental Visualization Laboratory
	High-resolution, detailed imagery of tropical cyclones as detected in remotely sensed data.

Disclaimer:

Users are reminded that posted SSD position and intensity estimates are based on the application of the Dvorak and/or Hebert-Poteat techniques to satellite imagery. Official determinations of systems' status, location and intensity are provided by the following tropical cyclone warning centers: National Hurricane Center (NHC) Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC)
