Increased budget for 2009 Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project 
August 11, 2008: Goals of the Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project include improving the accuracy and reliability of predicting rapidly intensifying storms and extending the lead time of hurricane prediction with increased certainty. NOAA will use the funding in four major areas to: increase hurricane observations; advance forecast models through research, development and engineering; increase computing power; and enhance collaboration with hurricane scientists in the private sector, government, and universities to advance research and operations.
