Abstract

In "Impact on Hurricane Track and Intensity Forecasts of GPS Dropwindsonde Observations from the First- Season Flights of the NOAA Gulfstream-IV Jet Aircraft" by S. D. Aberson and J. L. Franklin, appearing in the March 1999 issue of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, Table 5 and Fig. 3 were in error. Corrections to the table and figure follow, along with clarifications to the conclusions of the original article: The dropwindsonde data had a mixed, rather than positive, impact on the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) model intensity forecasts, and the data obtained above 400 hPa did not provide for most of the changes, as previously reported. FIG. 3. The average intensity errors relative to SHIFO R (in %) of the GFD L forecasts with all the dropwindsonde data (GFAL) , with none of the drop- windsonde data (GFNO) , and with the dropwindsonde data as if they were gathered from the P3 aircraft (GFP3) .
