I think it will be more like 50+ threads this year if 270+ pages was the peak last year. There will be more hurricane watchers in 2006.

It's pretty much impossible to navigate through 50+ threads about the same subject even with search tools.

Maybe a new thread for each category change in the storm would work better.


First, this type of conversation should go in the "Talkin' Tropics New Format" thread. Secondly, the thread limitations are to help the server load. Everytime someone opens a 270+ page thread, each post has to load up. If this is multiplied by hundreds of users each minute, imagine the load on the server. Third, a majority of information in past threads are obsolete. For the bulk of the information that would warrant a look after-the-fact can easily be accomplished through the search function. Finally, all the past threads are linked in the initial post of each thread. It's not that difficult to research previous threads.

CHRISTY, I love you, but winds don't flow that way around a low pressure system this side of the equator, sweetheart.


You sure? Because last time I checked Northern Hemisphere storms swirl counter-clockwise, and that is counter-clockewise.

I think they already changed it, since it was mentioned.

OK...I hate to be the burster (is that a word?) of bubbles...but this "invest" isn't a real invest. It's a "test" so to speak.

I spoke via email with someone at the NRL, Jeff Hawkins. The NHC wanted to "investigate" the system off the east coast and test the microwave products...thus the NRL started the invest box to test the micorwave products on an actual low.

Test email too?

AFM:

Thanks for the info re: the test invest. The system seemed a little marginal to warrant that kind of attention.

Did you get any information re: the mysterious email many of us got yesterday from the NHC too? It was a test also? (Sorry if this has been answered elsewere. I've been off of the boards).

Nope...I just asked them why an invest was issued on an extratropical system.

And as all the good amatuer mets on this board and all the pro-mets know...you don't issue invests on extratropical systems. It even takes a long time to get an invest on a subtropical system...and sometimes too long to get an invest (well...longer than we would like) on a tropical system.

They came back with the reply that the NHC wanted to ""investigate" the system off east coast with our microwave products"...which means they are testing the microwave imagery on the low.

This is part of there discussion Tonight....

CYCLONIC FLOW COVERS THE ATLANTIC WATERS FROM 20N TO 40N BETWEEN
24W AND 40W. A SURFACE TROUGH RUNS FROM 31N23W BEYOND 33N30W.
THE LATEST GFS MODEL INDICATES THAT ONLY A TROUGH WILL STAY IN
THE AREA. IT DOES NOT DEVELOP A SURFACE LOW CENTER FOR AT LEAST
THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

Wow, so all this discussion over something that is just a test. That is hilarious...
