Model Efficiency?
Is it me, or do the models seem to be getting better at predicting storms before they even spin up? Bertha and Edouard for example. Are there new parameters fed into the models? Or are they just "lucky" in their hits vs misses? Any thoughts?

Re: Model Efficiency?
I would say that the more we learn about the atmosphere and the more that is inputted into the models, the better they'll become.

Every year there is more historical data to input to the model.
Think about how much more powerful your computer has gotten over the past 5 years. A screaming machine in 2001 is a paperweight today. As the computational power increases the accuracy of the models will increase as well.
Satellite data is vastly improved over a few years ago. I am not sure, but there is at least one new sattelite up there inputing better and more data.

coz 99L is not cyclone-worthy... why are you still betting on this skimpy lump of cloud?
