I was looking around the Navy's FNMOC site and found this link to the tropical cyclone position and intensity page:

https://www.fnmoc.navy.mil/products/TAPPS/tc_info.html

Notice what it says in the description! Why do they say that?

Haven't seen that before. It seems to be a widely used term though. (Over 20,000 matches in a google search I just did ) :lol:

Hmm, seems a bit of an unusual term to use. Like you P.K., I hadn't seen it before.

It's being used in the sense of "Bogussing" storms into a model.

What they're doing is looking at the actual location of Kerry from satellite, and inputting it into the model data by hand, basically, so that the init of the model has the correct position of the storm; it's called bogussing.

Otherwise you can have storms not init in the model correct position. Some models do not Bogus in Tropical Cyclones...like the EC.
