What is the BAMM?

#1 Postby Zadok » Wed Jun 08, 2005 9:07 pm

I was just wondering if this is a good computer model? It is the only one that the Sun sentinel has on it's website right now.

BAMM is one of the tropical barometric hurricane models the NHC uses.
It's the mid-layer version. BAMD is the deep layer, and BAMS is the shallow layer version.

Ok thanks. Most times they show other models with it but tonight there is just one.

Here's a good general overview of NHC Guidance Models.

In this case, from some work I did over the winter, the models likely to perform best here are UKMET and GFS; although, with the correspondence between GFDL and GFS, I imagine GFDL will work well for this storm.
