If they put a floater on a wave are they expecting something out of it....or is it usually just to observe?

Why not Christy, Last year we had Arlene,Bret,Cindy,Dennis, and Emily
before June was over. Dennis and Emily both flirted with Cat 5 strength for a time. With this active period that is now occuring we may indeed see more, earlier, and stronger TC's.
JMHO,
Tim

Considering there aren't any other interesting features to put it on, I would assume a little of both.

Did Dennis form in June? I just remember it hitting the Florida coast after the fourth of July.

Okay I just saw the thread. I thought Dennis was in July. :lol:

One of 4 satellite images that are centered on an area of interest. Right now Floater 1 is centered on Alberto, and Floater 4 is centered on the Carribean Wave.

On this page right under "Atlantic Basin Imagery", you'll see the links to the 4 floaters.

Here is something I found after googling:


The Storm Floater satellite images are images taken in the vicinity of tropical cyclones within the satellite's spatial range. These images provide close-up detail of tropical storms and hurricanes, and are excellent for tracking storms.
