99L Recon Discussion Thread

[HURAKAN]

AT least we could find how strong the winds are so if there is no LLC, when it forms we know what to expect.

[miamicanes177]

as expected, recon is still flying

[MiamiensisWx]

They found a SFMR sfc wind of 46 kts, but it could be associated with a squall.

[Chris_in_Tampa]

It was heavily raining at that time: 21 mm/hr (~ 0.83 in/hr)

[skysummit]

Where are they? My map isn't updating correctly.

[DESTRUCTION5]

We need to lock one of these suckers..

Fourth Column from the right is the wind speed.

Whcih column in the automated report is wind direction and which column is wind speed?

Thanks.

[skysummit]

Ok so what value are we using to estimate surface wind speed at this flight level?

[SouthFloridawx]

Is the recon data in a new format...?

It used to be different.

wind direction is 88 degrees and speed is 25 kts

I think that is flight level winds of 25 with surface winds of 27.

[Chacor]

Flight level winds are higher than surface winds.

i agree..I always used the one you have SFWX

[RL3AO]

Flight level winds are higher than surface winds.

Not in all the reports.

[Chacor]

2007 HDOBs are in a different format to 2006, please make sure you're reading everything right.

[Chris_in_Tampa]

Yesterday is when they finally went to the new format.
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutrecon_2007.shtml

You meant SFMR winds are higher than flight level?

[CrazyC83]

http://www.tropicalatlantic.com/recon/ is a decoder...

[Chacor]

Flight level winds are higher than surface winds.

Not in all the reports.

Generally they're always higher.

what i highlighted is 30 second avg. flight level wind

[SouthFloridawx]

What is the new format?
