ATL: KARL - Recon discussion

[CrazyC83]

Plane is currently en route.

[cycloneye]

Does anyone has the google graphics?

[cycloneye]

Plane has decended to operational altitud.

[HURAKAN]

no west wind and winds reading are unimpressive

[cycloneye]

Only the pressure that is down to 1006 mbs.

[CrazyC83]

I doubt there is a circulation in there...

[cycloneye]

Anything important found so far?

[Bailey1777]

hurakan had to do homework so nobody is keeping up with it.

I wish I could help but I don't have time right now. Is there anyone out there that can post recon for this storm? TIA!

[cycloneye]

Interesting that west winds were found but are weak.

[cycloneye]

NOAA plane is on route right now. Let's see if it finds more interesting data than yesterday.

[KWT]

I suspect they won't find anything more organised then they did yesterday to be honest...but who knows!

[HURAKAN]

sounds like a waste of resources

sounds like a waste of resources

Operationally, perhaps, but for a research project focused on tropical cyclogenesis, it's right up their alley

Could be. But not much cyclogenesis here!!

[cycloneye]

I think they may have to wait until it gets to the BOC to then get good stronger data.

Null cases are underrated - can't be sure you know what makes a storm unless you also know what doesn't make one. And lately, they've been kind of hurting for null cases.
