Hey Eric, what's going on with this Recon data? I don't know how to make of it...what is the pressure and the sustained winds? Has Rita's coordinates confirmed a northerly jog?

Here is a key on how to read....
I'm going to write some software eventually to do this... so i have to think less..

For MinObs messages, the code sequence is:

HHMMSS_LaLaLamm_LoLoLomm_PPPPP_±DDDD_WWW_SSS_±TTT_±ddd_www_sss_sss_rrr

HHMMSS The time of the observation in hours, minutes and seconds (UTC). All averages (except
peak wind) are centered around this time.

LaLaLamm The latitude of the observation in degrees and minutes. A negative number signifies the
Southern hemisphere. There may be leading blanks in the degree subfield; the minutes
will always be a two digit numeric (zero filled as required).

LoLoLomm The longitude of the observation in degrees and minutes. A negative number signifies the
Eastern hemisphere. NOTE: This is opposite the normal convention. There may be
leading blanks in the degree subfield; minutes will always be a two digit numeric.

PPPPP The pressure altitude in feet. There may be leading blanks.

±DDDD The D-value (Geopotential Altitude - Pressure Altitude) in feet. There will always be a
leading sign (+ or -) followed by four numeric characters (leading zeros if required)

WWW The wind direction in degrees, with 0 being true North, increasing clockwise. There will
always be three numeric characters, with leading zeros if required.

SSS The wind speed in knots. There will always be three numeric characters, with leading
zeros if required.

±TTT The air temperature in degrees and tenths Celsius. There will always be a leading sign
(+ or -) followed by three numeric characters (leading zeros if required). For example, 5.3
C would be coded +053.

±ddd The dewpoint temperature, encoded the same way as air temperature.

www The direction of the peak wind during this interval (30 sec, 1 min, etc.). The peak wind is
defined as the maximum 10 second average wind. Format is the same as wind direction
above.

sss The speed of the peak wind in knots. Format is the same as wind speed above.

sss The wind speed at the surface in knots, as measured by the Stepped Frequency
Microwave Radiometer (SFMR). This is an optional field new for 1999, and may be
omitted depending on the version of software being run. If omitted, the rain rate field will
also be omitted, and the <cr><cr><lf> sequence will occur immediately after the peak
wind speed field (no trailing blank). When present, there will be three numeric characters,
with leading zeros if required. If the SFMR wind can not be calculated during the sample
interval, it (and the rain rate) will be coded as 999.

rrr The rain rate in mm/hr, as measured by the SFMR. When present (see SFMR wind speed
discussion above), there will be three numeric characters, with leading zeros if required. If
rain rate can not be calculated it will be coded as 999.

EDIT:

Here is a great site that explains more detail about the obs...

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/reconlist.shtml go there and next to each type of recon it will say "how to read" click on it and it will tell you how to read them

i thought i understood, so that makes the center much more se of where all the blowup is?

**there is a page on the noaa website that explains it too, but not quite as understandable as yours, thank youverymuch. :wink:

okay - so somebody types faster than me. :roll:

now would someone please tell us what all the abbreviations on the models stand for? (some are obvious, but what is the BAMM & BAMD?)

thank you for explaining to all us meteorologically disabled.

I could be wrong but I think they are on their way to the system but not in it yet

Correct they are flying up into it from the southeast....
They have not reached the storm yet though....

what they are doing right now is flying a pattern thru the system - which one I am not certain - if you look at the 2nd and 3rd column of #'s ending in n and w you will see where they actually are these are latitude and longitude. the center will be issued as a vortex message which will be labeled just that - vortex message.
