re: Hurricane Irma - Spinning Down

It's a unique situation with a high end tropical cyclone close enough to fly so many missions and close enough to a bunch of radar sites to have a radar loop of an extended run Cat 5 in action.
They're mining this bastard for all the data it's worth no doubt.

I feel like NOAA is constantly flying the plane through this storm. SO MUCH DATA!
each low level recon mission goes through the eye 4 times... but yeah seemingly every time a low level mission ends a new 1 begins

You don't get a shot at a storm like this very often (thankfully) and with today's technology get all you can!

Stay safe and do good work!!!

frick this hurricane season already, no more needed!

We've had a pretty easy go of it the last several years. I guess 2017 is when we pay the piper.
Godspeed to all in the path of this storm.

Are you military or medevac for one of the private companies?

rt3, this post is for you. Some fine soul at storm2k graphed out average forecast error in position for Irma vs # of hours out.
The Euro has outperformed everyone even the NHC, though their error is all early on. Error rate slowing down as the hours go out, pretty impressive.
Now for the poor performers: the GFS I'm looking at you. The CMC has charted better out to 120 hours. GFS easily the worst performer out past two or three days.
So uh, everyone, don't take the GFS path for much unless King Euro (and Queen UKMet apparently) start lining up on it's solution.

I'm not taking any of these models as gospel truth... I know there's a lot of movement
but I love anomalies

My last sentence wasn't at you.
You've been all over the model runs, I thought you'd like to see how they've all done. You've done everyone a hand showing the model runs and recon reports in this thread. My post was something I thought would be interesting to you since you've really dived deep in the models over the past week or two.

oh cool... I wasn't understanding the point you were trying to make (let's just say Irma's screwed up my sleep pattern)
thanks for the info... I appreciate it

I love that plot.
Is positional error in time exponential?
It sure does look like it for that plot.
I'd love to this plot for recent storms.
Run a little non-linear mixed model action with an exponential distribution

Oceanographer with stats masters

hopefully new dropsonde data will be in in like 15 minutes or so

You'd have to think so for a computer model. A mistake in step one is feed into step two and the errors propogate and impact more and more of the simulation.

Oh sweet statistics. That'd be pretty cool to see the result of.
