I propose a name change

I think this page should be "Tropical_cyclone_forecast_model" rather than with the word "prediction." I think it is important to note that meteorologists forecast the weather and do not predict the weather. It might seem like a minor point, but it is a rather significant difference.4.136.81.238 05:32, 6 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Expansion todo

Still need to finish adding model info from the 2005 Verification report and more details on each individual model. --AySz88^-^ 05:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Possible changes

I think that it might be good to rename this tropical cyclone forecasting and then make it a spinoff from the tropical cyclone article. The current content could just be part of that larger article. Things that could then be included are: statistical predictions, as is done or the seasonal outlooks, these models, past forecast accuracy, the step by step process that goes into making a forecast, and other stuff.

I like that idea. Then, you can talk about manual techniques as well. Thegreatdr 12:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
...or on second thought, this article could be left as-is while another article concerning tropical cyclone forecasting is created. Chances are, we would need a subarticle on the track models anyhow. Thegreatdr 15:53, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
