Product Description (2025.11.15 update)
Real-time TC intensity estimates and +24-h intensity forecast
The hybrid GAN-CNN deep learning model of Chen et al. (2021) is used for real-time intensity estimation [blue dots and black line (3-h smoothing)]. This plot also shows the predicted intensity distribution (shading) at +24 h and the rapid intensification probability for various thresholds.
