Derek, how does the flight level to surface conversion work when they are closer to the surface?

No doubt an intensification phase. Probably 105mph...

90 percent of the 700mb winds
80 percent of the 850mb winds
75 percent of the 925mb winds

That seems backwards. If the flight level is closer to the surface, the measured flight level winds should be closer to the surface winds.

in a tropical cyclone, the strongest winds are only a few hundred meters just above the surface, unlike in a non-trop where they are aloft

If the flight-level winds are measured at a higher pressure = closer to the surface, you don't decrease them MORE to get surface winds, but less.


Nope.

Take a look at this wind profile from Hurricane Mitch.

Image

Notice how at the surface, his winds are 165 mph. Just above the surface, they increase to 185 mph.

Then notice how (taking out all the bumps), the wind slowly DECREASES with increasing height.

HARDLY 26.5. Closer to 26.4...and that's at a time when the eye appeared to be moving north to some.

Not quite. Since there are 24 minutes in a degree to convert it to decimal it becomes 26 degrees and 24/60, or 26.40 degress N latitude.
