Re: Hurricane Bertha in Western Atlantic
i would like someone's opinion on how much weakening upwelling will likely cause
i have been sort of harping about this, but perhaps someone with a better historical memory or info could give their opinion. Since this is only 90 mph to begin with would upwelling potentially bring this down to a strong tropical storm, or likely minimal cane (i'm sure it's structure would be a factor sas well) any thoughts on this?

IMAGERY SUGGEST THERE IS STILL SOMETHING OF AN INNER EYEWALL THAT
REFUSES TO COMPLETELY GO AWAY...WHILE THE OUTER EYEWALL PERSISTS AS
A CLOSED RING AT A SLIGHTLY SMALLER RADIUS THAN 24 HOURS AGO. ALL
OF THAT MEANS THAT THE WELL-ADVERTISED EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE IS
NOT EXACTLY PROCEEDING AT A BLISTERING PACE.

Using the SSD IR floater, I measured the eye north to south to be 97 miles.
Total eye area: 7390 mi2
Total area of Bermuda: 20.6 mi2
Total Bermudas in the eye: 359

If we say that Bertha's eye is 90 miles across (diameter) [45 mile radius], then the area is pi*r*r = 3.14 * 45 * 45 = 6358.5 sq mi.
Bermuda has an area of 20.6 sq mi. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bermuda
Therefore,
6358.5 / 20.6 = 309 Bermudas
Thanks everyone that participated. Maybe we should do something similar every night!!!

Do I see a smile? Rotate it 90 degrees counterclock wise in your mind's eye...

Re: Hurricane Bertha in Western Atlantic
