This is a list of track models, some of which have additional notes.

*'''CLIPER''' (CLImatology and PERsistence) is a statistical model. It uses the current path of a tropical cyclone and an average of historical paths of similar cyclones to come up with a track. Curiously, until the late [[1980s]], this was actually the most accurate model.

*'''NHC90'''

*'''BAM''' ([[Beta effect|Beta]] and [[Advection]]) uses horizontal winds. There are three forms, BAMD (BAM Deep), BAMM (BAM Medium) and BAMS (BAM Shallow) that use different altitudes of wind.
