Very good Sandy,those are great.

[Derek Ortt]

I am going to attempt some flgiht level wind maps... if I can get them somewhat decent... I may post them tomorrow, but no guarantees

[pojo]

There will only be ONE alpha pattern thru Bertha because of the distance from Keesler....

[RL3AO]

Pojo, do you guys have any bases to use on the East Coast?

[cycloneye]

I thought they would go from St Croix.

Pojo, do you guys have any bases to use on the East Coast?

we could... but not enough time to stand up a East Coast base.... following protocol rules.


we have stood up STX already... but the availability of AIRCRAFT, crews, maintenance, etc... that's another story

[GeneratorPower]

pojo, can you tell us what St. Croix is like from your perspective? The ocean must be beautiful but do you get to enjoy the scenery or only work?

from my perspective.... its a working vacation.

Just a question to the mods, are we going to set up a discussion thread so we can keep the main recon obs here in this thread and not get bogged down with the discussion?

Surely,tommorow morning anyone can make a discussion thread as soon the plane departs around 8:15 AM EDT. This thread will be used to post all the data from the plane.

FYI, for those monitoring recon, check out the following address: http://tropicalatlantic.com/recon/


This page has decoders for RECCOs, HDOBs, VDMs, and drops.

Recon for tommorow as well just in case it wasn't noticed:

2. OUTLOOK FOR SUCCEEDING DAY: FIX HURRICANE BERTHA
NEAR 30.4N 62.0W AT 12/1800Z.

We shall see if they keep that recon later today.

[hiflyer]

I am concerned no G4 high altitude sampling to hopefully get a really good handle on possible future tracks....wonder if the bird is grounded 6 weeks into Hurricane season.


Also do not see why they could not launch the Air Force frames from Bermuda itself for at least 1-2 flights....you would think the Bermuda gov would be falling all over itself to host the aircraft as it would directly benefit Bermuda.

[Thunder44]

Just want to let you guys know, that I'm holding a contest on the recon today, in the contest forum. Come quick because you have until 12:30pm to enter.

[KWT]

I should think we will start getting the first bits of data in soon because whilst they will still be on the ground they normally feed through data a little bit before then.
Can't believe we have recon again!

[hiflyer]

It's alive!!!
