JTWC Multi-model Ensemble Consensus (Jul 2013) • The JTWC consensus forecast track aid, CONW, is computed by averaging eight dynamic model and two ensemble mean TC track forecasts. This study investigates differences of track, intensity, frequency, and the associated long-term trends for those TCs that were simultaneously recorded by the best track data sets of the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) Tokyo, and the Shanghai Typhoon Institute (STI).
