Super Typhoon Shanshan (26W)
• Slight disagreement with operational center
and Best Track estimates
– Over/Underestimate
during strengthening/weakening processes
– CI#s compare better with Best Track during
weakening than Final T#s
– Rapid intensification cycles noted but led
to ODT overestimates
– SAB ODT analysis very similar to JTWC ODT
