    I know that I came across this in a different forum, but I can't seem to find that information now....what are the major differences between the regular model and the hurricane one?

    hurricane model uses different wind input... wind is input from the GFDL hurricane model over the storm, rather than the regular model based off of the GFS model.

    The GFDL model is often better able to capture the wind field associated with tropical storms.
