How do I use the Dvorak Technique?
Ok I could easily tell the difference between a cat 4-5 and a tropical storm or category 1 by a glance at the sattelite , as would most people who don't have any knowledge about storms. However I am curious about how to make a good estimate of intensity with satellite images via the Dvorak technique. I am shocked about how little information a google search turned up, I saw a slide show in one of the results that gave a good idea of it but it did not give a complete explanation.
