can't tell if my eyes are playing tricks on me due to NE movement of the shear, but the center looks like it will pass directly over Bermuda. And the Bermuda radar doesn't seem to have updated in over two hours.

I doubt the plane will find anything close to 50 kts.

The loops I like to use are having all kinds of issues, probably because the images are all delayed by a minute.

4 good frames in this one, if you can tolerate turning off the missing images.

All those high SFMR winds are flagged. The surface winds aren't likely stronger than FL winds. With a lack of convection, the conversion to the surface may be greater than normal, too.

Those are SFMR readings...so it estimated winds of 49 knots at the surface.

None of them are flagged. SFMR flag codes are 03 and 05. The 01 is either temp or dew point, I believe.

Correction:
03, 05, 06, 09 all deal with SFMR. 03 is just SFMR, with the other 3 being SFMR and other errors as well.

For anyone interested (Note: It is a .PDF):
http://www.ofcm.gov/nhop/13/pdf/18-app-g.pdf

Page 9 (or G-9) has the error codes.

Those are more likely as the SFMR winds are slightly lower than the flight level winds.

It is completely unrealistic that a storm which lacks significant convection has higher winds (or just below FL speeds) at the surface than aloft. Could be 40 kts at the surface.

Not arguing that point, just that the 01 is T/TD error and the SFMR is not flagged (by the computer).

TROPICAL STORM GABRIELLE DISCUSSION NUMBER 10
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL072013
500 PM AST TUE SEP 10 2013

AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT INVESTIGATING
GABRIELLE FOUND PEAK SFMR WINDS OF 45-50 KT NORTHWEST AND SOUTHEAST
OF THE CENTER ON THEIR FIRST PASS THROUGH THE STORM...AND THE
INITIAL INTENSITY IS INCREASED TO 50 KT FOR THIS ADVISORY. THE
CENTRAL PRESSURE OF 1004 MB IS BASED ON A DROPSONDE FROM THE
AIRCRAFT. GABRIELLE HAS BEEN ABLE TO STRENGTHEN TODAY DESPITE THE
PRESENCE OF MODERATE SOUTHWESTERLY SHEAR WHICH HAS EXPOSED THE
LOW-LEVEL CENTER TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE DEEP CONVECTION. WHILE
MODERATE SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OR EVEN INCREASE OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...THE STATISTICAL/DYNAMICAL AND GLOBAL MODELS
SHOW SOME STRENGTHENING DURING THAT TIME. THIS SEEMS TO BE SUPPORTED
BY MARGINAL SSTS AND AN INCREASE IN UPPER-LEVEL DIVERGENCE AHEAD OF
A MID/UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH. THE NHC FORECAST SHOWS THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOME STRENGTHENING AND THEN LITTLE CHANGE THROUGH EXTRATROPICAL
TRANSITION IN ABOUT 96 HOURS.

THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS 360/09. THE MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS A
TURN TOWARD THE NORTH-NORTHWEST WITH A DECREASE IN FORWARD SPEED
OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS...AS GABRIELLE IS TUGGED WESTWARD BY A
WEAKENING MID/UPPER-LEVEL LOW CURRENTLY SITUATED EAST OF FLORIDA.
AT 48 HOURS AND BEYOND...AN ACCELERATION TOWARD THE NORTHEAST IS
EXPECTED AHEAD OF A DEEP-LAYER TROUGH MOVING THROUGH EASTERN NORTH
AMERICA. THE TRACK MODELS REMAIN IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT ON THE
OVERALL SCENARIO...HOWEVER MUCH OF THE GUIDANCE HAS SHIFTED A
LITTLE TO THE LEFT THIS CYCLE. OVERALL...THE NHC TRACK FORECAST IS
SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ONE THROUGH 48 HOURS AND AFTERWARD HAS BEEN
ADJUSTED A BIT TO THE LEFT...BUT STILL LIES EAST OF THE MULTI-MODEL
CONSENSUS.

Well, looks like the NHC didn't think the 49 knot winds the SFMR found were in error, despite being way higher than flight level!

thats likely because sfmr measure ocean spray/water droplets and thus if there is little convection to saturate it then it becomes more

reliable. also the anticipated bend back to the nnw and nw appears have begun..
