that do not know how to read the recon reports, can you maybe put a small blurb in what all it means at the bottom of each report? Just a suggestion.

Thanks

Somebody had written a little decoding thing last year. Let me see if I can find where that was.

Not even sure if this works anymore, but you copy recon report and paste it in the box, then hit the button.

[Edited to include the following:] Yup, it works.

That is what the decode says if that helps

[cycloneye]

Let's wait for the next mission this afternoon that will be very important because Arlene is getting better organized as time goes by and the data that they will get will say if it has intensifyed more than expected maybe close to hurricane status.

senorpepr has the OBS recco decoder, if he is around..

[Derek Ortt]

was the 64KT Avila talking about really 64 m.p.h.?


No recon report I have seen said more than 56KT, which is about 55 m.p.h. at the surface

Yes you are right Derek.No more that 56kt the last report early this morning at 7:37z.

[Air Force Met]

Check out this ship report. Pressure might be a little low...guess recon will find out for sure.

WAAH 24.9 -84.8 WIND:100@31kts Pressure:997.0

[Derek Ortt]

997 would make sense based upon the sat signature this afternoon

[tailgater]

Winds out of the east would suggest that the center or one of the centers is to the south of that position.
