 Dvorak technique operationally used all over the world for estimating the tropical cyclone intensity is based on satellite observations. It involves image pattern recognition based on certain empirical rules along with the analyst interpretation of organized convection.  The computer-based algorithm can minimize these subjective judgement discrepancies between different analysis centers estimating the same storm.  This modified version is called Advanced Objective Dvorak Technique (AODT) and which is applicable for well-developed tropical cyclones. In this paper the performance of the AODT is evaluated on three cases of the year 2004 tropical cyclones. Comparative analysis indicates the technique to be competitive with, the Dvorak-based intensity estimates produced operationally by satellite analysts from tropical analysis centers.
