			<title>Rather active hurricane-season is expected in the Atlantic</title>
			<link>http://www.weatherrouteing.dk/home/single-article/artikel/rather-active-hurricane-season-is-expected-in-the-atlantic/</link>
			<description>This year’s North Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1st, and will last until...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ 
The latest ECMWF numerical forecast is projecting a total of 14.4 tropical storms during the whole of the 2011 hurricane-season. Out of these 8.3 are expected to develop into actual hurricanes, with winds of at least 33m/s. This should be compared to the 1990-2005 average of 12.6 tropical storms, and 7.3 hurricanes. (The decimal in the forecasted value may seem a bit confusing, but is a result of the way the forecast is made, by combining the results of many individual forecasts.)
 
USA’s National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued its official forecast on May 19<sup>th</sup>, and they also expect a rather active season this year with 12-18 tropical storms, out of which 6-10 are expected to reach hurricane-status.
 
We are still waiting for the first system of the season that is strong enough to be given a name, but when it comes it will be named “Arlene”. Tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic are named by the WMO when they reach a sustained wind-speed of 17m/s. The cyclones are then named according to a pre-made list containing 22 names each beginning with a different letter of the alphabet, from A to W. If in a season more than 22 named storms should develop, Greek letters are used as a contingency plan. This actually became necessary in 2005, one of the worst hurricane-seasons ever, when we witnessed the formation of no less than six storms after “Wilma”, which was the last name on that years list. The following storms were consequently named “Alpha”, “Beta”, “Gamma”, “Delta”, “Epsilon” and “Zeta”. The last one “Zeta” actually formed after the end of the official hurricane-season.
 
While there are no immediate signs that this years hurricane-season will be as bad as 2005 warmer than normal waters in the Caribbean, and the lingering effects of a La Niña earlier this year suggest that we can expect a rather active hurricane-season.]]></content:encoded>

			<description>Based on the latest 30 days forecast from ECMWF, a view on the anomalies of the height of the 500...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[During the next 30 days, an area with anomalies above the 1997-2009 average (orange) situated near Denmark moves slowly west, and the main low pressure track seems to stay fare away from Denmark. Low pressures will however still affect Denmark from time to time. Overall it seems that precipitation below the 1997-2009 average is more likely, and the forecast also shows that until at least Mid-December temperatures below the 1997-2009 average are to be expected.
 
DMI - Maritime Service also on request do Monthly forecast for other areas.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[DMI - Maritime Service provides Oxygen Sailing Team with accurate weather forecast via Maritime Forecast Service (MFS), and our precise forecasts helped Oxygen Sailing Team achieving a third place in the 2010 European Championship in Medemblik, Holland 15th-20th June.<br /><br />Especially in the third race Oxygen Sailing Team benefited from DMI - Maritime Service MFS forecasts.
"Before the third race, we were unaware of which foresail we needed. We could see that several of our competitors had set a small foresail, but we actively used DMI weather routing, and therefore we were able to set a larger foresail, and it proved to be exactly right. Perhaps that why we could navigate our way through the field and up to a fifth place. "said foresail trimmer Jonas Funk.
