If we ever get a storm named Freddy in the Atlantic...
Has there ever been a simulation done to see if that's possible? I've wondered this but the trouble is when the low is pushed back down to the MDR typically its in the process of being destoryed or there is some complication. The sim would give us an idea how rare of an occurrence it is.
Stunning, nothing like it.

The 02:47Z pass found max winds of 78kts, while the 15:43Z pass found 95kts, and the RMW had contracted from 11nmi (20km) to 8nmi (15km)!
I've never seen these Radarsat products before, is this what they were back in the day stating Nextrad in space was going to be? We'll be seeing this a lot going forward but yet no fanfare when its released...
