Ivan - Wind field map

#1 Postby SkeetoBite » Tue Sep 14, 2004 9:13 pm

1. These images are interpretations based on advisories issued by the National Hurricane Center.
2. Wind fields (the blue & red circles) are not concentric. Winds may vary all over the map... literally.
3. High winds extend far beyond the circles in these images, especially in feeder (rain) bands.
4. Areas in the path of this storm will experience high winds long before the hurricane arrives.
5. Your local news is the best source for emergency data and local storm updates.

Yeah definitely working together, I am not trying to compete with Skeet at all, just want everyone to have as many maps as they desire. I figure the more, the better.

Thanks needs to go out to all for their efforts during this historic season. I'm sure that your maps will end up saving more than just one person their lives. Once again thanks.

Yes SkeetoBite, well done on some superb graphics. Our UK weather forum had been feeding us your images when we chased Frances. I just wish I was there with my guys in Mobile!

One problem with that Hurrtrak map is that the marine wind radii are plotted with no reduction for surface friction over inland areas. The wind radii will be a lot shorter over land. George's new version of the program takes this into account and reduces inland wind radii according to terrain.
