ATL JOSEPHINE: Remnants - Discussion

[Cryomaniac]

As for the Recon thread, sending it out here is impossible, unfortunately. I think it is a lot more than 35 kt.

Get the Air force to lend the NHC a mid-air re-fuelling plane...

I'm clearly not serious.

[cycloneye]

I dont remember in what year,but there was a plane in the Cape Verde islands that made missions to a Cyclone in that area.

2006. it was to Debby and it was an unmaned research vehicle.

we can't mid-air refuel... and I don't believe the P3/G4 can either.

That was it.

I didn't think they could. It would be useful though. Whether it would be worth the expense involved is a different question.

There you have it.. looked like an eye!

VISIBLE IMAGERY REVEALS AN INCREASE IN THE CYCLONE'S
ORGANIZATION...WITH VERY WELL-DEFINED CONVECTIVE BANDS AND EVEN A
DECEPTIVE CENTRAL FEATURE DISGUISED AS AN EYE.

Did you read the word before "as an eye"?

Yes "disguised".. then, did you read the word before? "looked like"?... then, I did not write "it was an eye".

we are already in flight for 12 hours some days.... our max crew limit (with the aircraft commanders approval) is 18 hours....

So, you would hardly get any time in the storm anyway, which makes it a waste of time. So much for my idea .

there are many days were we fly 3+ hours each way and only have a little time to loiter in the storm.

Josephine looks to me like the potential East Coast threat....not Ike....i'd check a sharp eye on this storm. Hopefully it doesn't follow in Hanna's footsteps..


(Three straight landfalling hurricanes......geez...this season is ridiculous)

You can't possibly say that with any certainty when it's still 2 weeks away from any potential U.S. threat.

Of course that's why I said POTENTIAL.


With such a strong ridge out there....East Coast residents definitely must keep watch out this storm.

Okay fair enough. But it's certainly not more of an East Coast threat than Ike.

[somethingfunny]

Whaaaa??? Hurricane Warning for the CVI NOW maybe?

Seriously, what the asterisk just happened to Josephine? That's not a photoshop. One good thing is that a rapid deepening like this would tend to send Josephine poleward BEFORE the ridge extends eastward.

Its not an eye.

[RL3AO]

Well...the NHC says its not an eye.

[somethingfunny]

Watching that loop posted earlier shows it to be a slot of dry air being entrained into the center.....I've just never seen a 'pinhole' slot of dry air!

[HurricaneRobert]

Has there ever been a major hurricane near the Cape Verde Islands?

[HurricaneRobert]

There it looks more like a tropical storm.
