•Synthesize model representations of 850 hPa vorticity centers
•Summarize a large number of parameters associated with
each center throughout its life cycle.
•Catalog in a dynamic data base to allow - summaries of current vortices- summaries of past vortices based on common factors (i.e., season, location, developing, non-developing, etc.)
Identify factors that discriminate between likely modeltraits with respect to tropical cyclone formation.
[ Objective, feature based, dynamic]

Objectively identify and track analyzed and forecast vorticity centers in operational global forecast models
Summarize a comprehensive set of physical parameters associated with analyzed and forecast vortices.
Catalog parameters in a dynamic data base
Provide daily and other summaries of model forecast performance associated with developingand non-developing tropical vortices.
Use summaries to discriminate between potentiallyaccurate/inaccurate forecasts of TC formation.
