Forecasting tropical cyclone recurvature using an empirical othogonal [sic] function representation of vorticity fields

Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. === An empirical orthogonal function (EOF) representation of relative vorticity is used to forecast recurvature (change in storm heading from west to east of 000 deg N) of western North Pacific tropical cyclones. The time-dependent coefficients of...
