Objective: To update the track CLIPER models for the Atlantic, Eastern and Western Pacific basins with new dependent data, and extend the current versions to five days.

Methods: This will be accomplished by trying to replicate the methods used in the original derivations as closely as possible.

FY04 proposed milestones: Complete the three versions CLIPER and transition to operations.
