Question About DSHP Track Assumption
Does anyone here know what the DSHP (Decay SHIPS) uses as a projected track for its intensity forecast? Without knowing what track it is using, it's difficult to discern whether intensity fluctuations are the result of land interactions or some other factors. I was guessing that maybe it uses the ICON track (Intensity CONsensus).

I was looking around on the SHIPS model yesterday and saw that it was GFS-based (found the reference in an old NHC discussion). My first guess would be that DSHIPS is the same--so uses GFS track--but I am speculating.
Yeah, the web page posted above yours does mention using the operational GFS for some initialization parameters, but it doesn't specifically mention what track it uses.
