I'll have to ask one of SAB cohorts what's up with this. I wonder if it's a "request" from the ECMWF that stemmed from the SAB classifications of the early NOV cyclone in the MEDSEA.

That's disappointing. Really hope it isn't politics.

That sure sounds like politics to me, but we can only speculate.

REPLY :
"My apologies. Satellite Analysis Branch monitoring and satellite-based position/intensity analysis of rare Mediterranean Sea tropical storms has been discontinued due to lack of NOAA users and to conserve resources.
Mike Turk-NOAA/NESDIS"

There are continuous alarms for storms and depressions in the ocean off that never arrive on none coast (2000-3500 km far to coast), almost unnecessary, and the Mediterranean coast that has exposed him densely populated, has not have follow .. Just look at the recent damage, flood and victims to the passage of the Mediterranean tropical storm 01M (Rolf).
We have a lot more systems of the South Atlantic for example.
I hope you New start to follow in the future.
