Finding the Center

#1 Postby StormWarning1 » Fri Aug 25, 2006 8:49 pm

Here is a way to locate the center when their is not a distinct eye to a storm.
First, find the latest advisory/recon report, then write down the lat and lon. Go to this site.

Launch the infrared frame or visible if it is daylight, then click near the storm, observe how the lat and lon is displayed on the bottom left of your screen while you move your mouse cursor around.
