Tracking System

This is the “heart” of the system.  It is the Hurricane / Tropical Cyclone Tracking Analysis component.  It is designed to track current storms and analyze their past and forecast movement.  

The system's “Tab Interface” places all of the storm graphics, text and report data on individual tabs.  Many of the  tabs (like advisory data, wind speed graphs, etc.) are automatically created for the user, others (reports, special graphics,…) … are created by a user action… while there are additional tabs that will “create/update” themselves when the system is started or the data is updated via Hurrtrak Online.  See User Interface Considerations for more information.  

We will then review the system in 4 sections.  System Setup, User Preferences, Standard Menu Command and all of the possible Information Tabs.

System Setup
Defines system wide parameters

User Preferences
Defines user specific parameters.  With a network installation you may have multiple users.

Standard Menu Commands
