what is the formula to convert from FL to GL?

Scorpion · #1022 Postby **Scorpion** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 5:15 pm

No, 161 kts means 165 mph ground. I haven't seen a new report in, but winds are sure to be higher now.

I would say with the deeping near 175 or 180 mph?

He said earlier that he was going on one of the NOAA birds. I don't know what flight though.

Derek said he was flying tommorow on NOAA plane.

Buck, if the wind reading is at the 850 mb level, take 80% of the reading. If at the 700 mb level, take 90% of the reading. In other words, from 850 multiply by 0.8, and 700 multiply by 0.9.

Matt-hurricanewatcher · #1030 Postby **Matt-hurricanewatcher** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 6:23 pm

157 knots/180 mph flight level=162 mph surface.

Matt-hurricanewatcher · #1031 Postby **Matt-hurricanewatcher** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 6:33 pm

So vortex soon?

#1032 Postby **drezee** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 6:35 pm

OH NO Pressure is still falling!!!

2309. 2432N 08648W 03050 5774 024 042 248 106 057 02282 0000000000

Heights are lower than even the earlier vortex message!! Probably in the 800s now!!!

thunderchief · #1033 Postby **thunderchief** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 6:36 pm

no vortex or drop yet.

based on d-values it looks like pressure should drop a few mb.

#1034 Postby **Windy** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 6:39 pm

Man, that must be one HECK of a ride tonight. Can't imagine popping in and out of a 900mb storm.

Scorpion · #1035 Postby **Scorpion** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 6:42 pm

Wow. Lets see this baby beat Allen.

Website · #1036 Postby **Brent** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 6:43 pm

Where's the recon data? :eek:

thunderchief · #1037 Postby **thunderchief** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 6:45 pm

I dont know, the vortex and dropsonde arent up yet. Maybe the drop malfunctioned.

Scorpion · #1038 Postby **Scorpion** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 6:45 pm

Probably seeing if the extreme observations are true.

jopatura · #1039 Postby **jopatura** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 6:48 pm

Max Mayfield just said on KTRK 899mb and that the dropsonde had gone crazy because the winds were "just that strong".

Mac · #1040 Postby **Mac** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 6:48 pm

Hmmm. I wonder if it could ever get too dangerous for them to be flying in these things. Anybody ever heard of the possibility of a flight being cancelled due to bad weather? LOL
