Abstract
The storm tracking algorithm TRACK (Hodges, et. al., 2017) uses 850 hPa vorticity, averaged over 850, 700, 600 hPa, and filtered to T63 spectral grid, to find storm candidates. It then uses the vertical gradient of vorticity to determine if there is a warm core this with other conditions determine whether a tropical storm is identified.
The algorithm used for the storm-tracking is also described in the metadata of the track files and full details can be found in the linked documentation.
The storm tracks were calculated using the Lotus cluster at on the JASMIN compute facility at the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA).
