ATL : TROPICAL DEPRESSION ALEX - RECON DISCUSSION

[BZSTORM]

last year someone posted on the recon data coming in a idiot breakdown of what each column means. I had computer crash and lost that info can someone please repost. thxs. Also whoever created the google visual images of flights they are great and really help us very amateur storm watchers.

So when can we expect them to task The Gulfstream?

Paul,IMO,in tommorows Plan of the Day update,they may include missions for that plane.

It's in the begining of the Recon thread.

We are keeping the discussion seperate now.

It would be nice to have the data for the models Luis.

[thetruesms]

This thread is for the members to discuss about the data that all the missions that NHC will have for this system,to then not interrupt the flowing of data in the main recon thread.

thank you!!!!

fixed for you

thank you!!!!

(I can't get a smilie to post - the bowing down to you one so play like it is here)

I am only trying to not have the main recon thread turned into oneliners instead of having continous data flowing without interruptions and that is the purpose of this thread

[thetruesms]

I should probably get away from here while the flight is still en route, so I don't feel compelled to stay up to see what it finds and frustrate the gf.

But I really want to see what they'll find

[cycloneye]

The plane has entered the NW Caribbean so we will know soon enough how strong is the system.

[JtSmarts]

I'm guessing they'll find flv winds of about 40-45 kts.

[Aquawind]

They are lowering flight level.. now 1027 meters and going down.

[cycloneye]

They are going at 925mb level , that is a reduction of 75%.

[cycloneye]

For those who dont know the numbers of the different wind directions,here they are.

I want to see recon fly through that northern convection before we declare a 'center' with this system. I'm looking at that for a new center.

[Aquawind]

I think we have Alex plenty 40+ kt FL winds.. Next vortex should be interesting..

[cycloneye]

The next mission will depart from Biloxi base around 10:00 AM EDT and arrive at the center of Alex between 1:30-2:00 PM EDT.

The plane just left Biloxi.

[cycloneye]

Hurricane Andrew,from here. Lets keep that thread clean of comments to allow the data to flow.That is why there is this thread.

[Hurricane Andrew]

Does anyone know where Recon is right now?

[cycloneye]

Lets see if HURAKAN or other members come and post the graphics of where the plane is.
