I believe 200 is SSW at 12 kts. (fairly light)

One problem

#5 Postby wxman57 » Thu Aug 14, 2003 2:40 pm

One problem with that recon report is that the wind is at 1510 meters above the water. The "4" group is the surface wind group (010 deg at 15kts in the recon report that was posted). Howerver, the plane JUST reported a real SW sfc wind:

URNT11 KNHC 141847
97779 18474 50263 83600 15200 15035 16168 /2533 42020

Surface wind 200 at 20kts near 26.3N/83.6W. Looks like we have a center forming beneath the circulation aloft. Certainly a TD/TS within 2-8 hrs.

There may easily be confusion with flipping between the example page (link above) and the actual reports listed above.
