A method for automated location dependent probabilistic tropical cyclone
forecast. A plurality of new data records representative of alternative
tracks are generated based on historical tracks by a first
MonteCarlo-module. Points of the new data records are generated from
points along the historical track by a dependent sampling process,
whereas an intensity climatology is generated, based upon intensity data
associated with at least some of the plurality of points along the
historical tracks located within a certain grid cell. New intensity data
are generated by a second MonteCarlo-module, from the intensity data
associated with at least some of the plurality of points along the
historical tracks by a MonteCarlo sampling process.
