General

General information on the TAOS/L model and Caribbean applications of TAOS under the CDMP are available on the CDMP Storm Hazard Modeling Page.

TAOS/L Use Guides

The database of historical storms (tracks.all) that is delivered with TAOS/L is a copy of the storm track files developed by the US National Hurricane Center (NHC). To update the tracks.all file with a newer version, download the new file from the NHC website (currently available under the 'Atlantic Tracks File' link at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastall.html), rename the file to 'tracks.all' and replace the existing version in the TAOS/L directory.
