D-MINT and D-PRINT presentation for the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia: Sarah Griffin from the the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) gave a virtual presentation to the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) in Australia. This hour-long talk was centered on the new deep learning methods for estimating tropical cyclone (TC) intensity now available on the CIMSS tropical cyclone page: D-MINT and D-PRINT. Results specific to Southern Hemisphere TCs were presented, including the root mean squared error for different versions of D-MINT and D-PRINT, and discussions were had as to how to improve the TC estimates. Forecasters at the BoM are interested in some experimental products also provided by CIMSS, including the version of D-MINT and D-PRINT for areas of potential TC development. This presentation was recorded to be shared with the Fiji Meteorological Service. (S. Griffin, CIMSS, sarah.griffin@ssec.wisc.edu, A. Wimmers, C.Velden)
