What is a Tropical Invest?

A weather system for which a tropical cyclone forecast center (NHC, CPHC,
or JTWC) is interested in collecting specialized data sets (e.g., microwave
imagery) and/or running model guidance.

Once a system has been designated as an invest, data collection and
processing is initiated on a number of government and academic web sites,
including the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and the University of Wisconsin
Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (UW-CIMSS).

The designation of a system as an invest does not correspond to any
particular likelihood of development of the system into a tropical cyclone;
operational products such as the Tropical Weather Outlook or the JTWC/TCFA
should be consulted for this purpose.
