[HURAKAN]

Is that the plane that goes around the disturbance?

[cycloneye]

I think so but maybe Dave,Crazy or others can clear this up.

[djones65]

Yes, the NOAA P-3 is the aircraft that oftentimes flies synoptic missions at 40,000 feet to gather more data for models to ingest. However, this time they are utilizing that aircraft to gather research data and will be flying at a much lower altitude, approximately 12,000 feet which is a little above the altitude that Hurricane Hunters fly when reconnoitering hurricanes. The C-130's fly at 700 mb level approximately 10,000 feet when penetrating hurricanes, and usually much lower at the 850 mb level when investigating tropical storms, and even lower for disturbances. This P-3 aircraft will be at a good altitude that could provide some sound data regarding the structure of this system. Perhaps it can confirm whether there are actually two low pressure areas like Dean4storm suggests with one in the central Gulf and the other over the northern Yucatan? If this system organizes this afternoon, the research flight should provide adequate data to confirm if a surface circulation exists. So, in my opinion, canceling the Air Force Reserve missions isn't very significant today since the P-3 will be there. Just my opinion...

NOAA's P-3's *are not* the planes that fly the high altitude synoptic survellance missions. It's the NOAA Gulfstream IV (G-IV) that does this. The P-3's fly research flights (SFMR, etc), plus they provide supplemental reconnaisance for NHC when asked (e.g. when the 403rd WRS might need a hand)
