ATL: ISAAC - Recon Discussion

[brunota2003]

It's hard to pick the NOAA plane out, because both Kermit and Gonzo are up...if you don't refresh at the right moment, you miss one and catch the other. Frustrating, surely. I've only been seeing the jet's obs.

[HenkL]

Couldn't find any new info from NOAA2. The one I posted (#08) was the latest one in
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/recon/2012/AHONT1/

[HenkL]

NOAA2 continued with #09 one hour later.

We want graphics,we want graphics.......

[brunota2003]

And I want a pay raise Maybe someone can grab those, I've been busy, only just grabbing the obs.

[cycloneye]

Oh well,let's see if someone post them as there are two missions going on. We miss HURAKAN with the posting of those.

[brunota2003]

I see a few of the graphics people floating around...maybe they'll assist now that 300 is at altitude?

[Nimbus]

They found a 992 near 82'12" so I guess it has moved about 29 minutes west since 6PM?

ATCcane, you need a satellite overlay

[ATCcane]

Where can I get and how do i import into Google Earth ? Just trying to figure out how it all works.

[tolakram]

If my sat pic is recent it appears convection still on north side of center.

[HenkL]

I've done with the NOAA plane; time for a sleep.

This should open and place in your temporary places. Save to My Places to keep it.

Thanks HenkL!

[brunota2003]

I think that is the tightest, cleanest center pass we've ever had on this storm!

Good image ATCcane, but you need to make sure north is straight up (click the N button on top of compass). I would also use images without lat and lon, though the image you used looks quite good.

[brunota2003]

Alrighty...need someone to cover down after I post #24

Ok... sorry I'm in and out this evening. I'm still trying to get my feet wet with Google Earth but will try to help out more with posting the images in the future.

[cycloneye]

Wow,that was a close encounter between the two planes.

For an image overlay of the floater that DOES NOT update when it moves, click here:

Every time the floater moves, I have to manually move it in Google Earth. I do not update that file above, I'm just posting it for now to be used, UNTIL the floater moves. Then you have to make a close up floater overlay manually.
