I was just pointing out the similiarities to Earl in 98 and that we cannot always go by Sat. presentations, that is why we fly the Recons.

read Franklin et al, 2003 to get the proper conversion factors.

you never use .9 when recon is flying at the top of the boundary layer


Thank you Derek...that answered my question. Where can I look at Franklin et al, 2003?

to get it online, one needs to have a subscription with the AMS journals. It can be found in weather and forecasting.

Like I said yesterday,and some discounted it,Alberto quite possibly will reach minimal hurricane status before landfall.I think he could top out at 75mph
