I can't decode any recon cause I don't have my excel working. If someone else could decode that stuff Please.

Just found a 60mph wind

From the recon report thread:

62626 EYE SPL 1470N06976W 0720 MBL WND 00514 AEV 20604 DLM WND 01

What does EYE SPL mean?

EYE means it was in the center (vice EYEWALL, or somewhere else in the storm). SPL stand for splash, what follows immediately thereafter is the position and time of where and when it hit water.

[Starburst]

Does anyone want me to use my decoder here for the winds and stuff?

Just found a 60mph wind

Heck yeah....

[Starburst]

From the decoder.

During reconnaissance of tropical system ERNESTO a maximum sustained wind speed of 60 mph at 4797 feet, and a maximum wind gust of 61 mph at 4797 feet, were found by the government plane.

It will automatically decode to the correct wind speed etc no guessing games for surface wind ratio etc... it is all done for you
