If a cyclone's track and intensity can be predicted precisely, the losses due to cyclones can be minimized. While efforts are under way to improve the understanding of the physics of the problem of track and intensity prediction, it is worthwhile to look again at the efficiency of the input parameters presently used in models and to look for new approaches.
