Actually, if it does become a depression... it will return to number 9, but would automatically be named TD Ivan, per NHC.

Not "seems to", it WILL be named Ivan (if it develops).


Yes it's been made clear now.

New Recon obs shows they found WSW and WNW winds. Lowest pressure 1009mb.

Well, they didn't exactly say it would named Ivan if it developed. So that's why I said it "seems" based through my own interpertation.

New Recon obs shows they found WSW and WNW winds. Lowest pressure 1009mb.



Here's the money quote from the TWO:
IF A RECONNAISSANCE PLANE... CURRENTLY APPROACHING THE SYSTEM...DETERMINES THAT A CYCLONE HAS REFORMED...ADVISORIES ON IVAN WILL BE REINITIATED.


The visible shows the swirling winds. Of course, the swirling winds are visible due to shear, also...

Saw it after I posted my question - can anyone tell me what the recon reports mean? They found wsw winds, etc. What are the implications?

Give it 15-30 minutes more (patience is a virtue!). We'll see a vortex next.

those are radar maps......the sat loops which the nhc used to make this decision are the interesting ones...

Ivan it is

#53 Postby stormcloud » Wed Sep 22, 2004 4:55 pm

From the 5:30 discussion from the TPC:

SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE DATA INDICATE THAT THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IN THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO...WHICH HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER TO BE THE REMNANT OF IVAN...MAY BE REDEVELOPING INTO A TROPICAL CYCLONE.

I could say that tropical depression 7 last year was tropical depression 6? What is the differences?

I'm referring to the surface reflection. You clearly don't see any signs of a surface low from Ivan in the last image.

If the NHC wants to rename it Ivan based on it being a PARTIAL remnant of the storm, then let it be. I just point at the facts...

The renaming of this system "Ivan" is a bad idea. Really bad idea.

If I'm not mistaken, this is a piece that broke off of the main thrust of what was Ivan, am I correct?

Historically, they have resumed advisories if regeneration occurs.

This partial remnant is the low level circulation of Ivan.

They make the call here, not us.

Ivan it is, and I AM NOT EVACUATING AGAIN FOR HIM!!!!! :lol:

Oh please...you can't take WXP (as it was formerly known..before being bought by Unisys) output seriously over the oceans (or very seriously over the land either). Trust me, WXP was developed here at Purdue and we used to use it all the time - it's crap. The surface obs are only over the land (and maybe a buoy or ship here and there) so there is no way it will pick up a surface low at the edge of the map, over the ocean.

Oh yes it can...Just by looking at visible satellite images, you can fairly clearly see if a low pressure center is closed and/or has reached the surface...and I can tell you that the system DIDN'T have any rotation when it exited the coast. It stretched greatly from NE to SE resembling a frontal trough.

I'm not going to debate the naming of the system...
