How do i find the most current mapping like this?



PS: I'll help you because I'm smart enough to find what you needed and I'm a nice guy.

You still owe me a public apology.

some great grad research, it has busted all the models at various points


rds dc, do you do NWP modeling?

I'm not trying to be a dick, and I agree that this system would be interesting to study, but the breakdown of the models is clearly demonstrated (and cited) in chapter 2 of the link I provided earlier.

Here it is again: LINK

This should probably go in another thread, but the deviations of this storm with the models is fairly apparent.

To get to that graphic you can click the system on the map or click graphics and it will show you this current projection. I find it interesting this projection has it hitting at 2 PM Thursday. That's much faster than the earlier ones yesterday.

this may be germans, but I got interested in how the fk these guys fly through hurricanes, and I found this vid which is awesome.

Yeah I'm ok just being a mom. Wonder if they apply to be hurricane hunter pilots or if they're selected or what.

Scary job to say the least.

A guy I went to high school with is a hurricane hunter. He actually just flew into TS 8 and posted a picture to his Facebook page.

He is a pilot for a private company but flies for the Hurricane Hunters part time. The Hurricane Hunters are Air Force Reservists based out of Biloxi. They have full time and part time pilots. I don't know how he got involved in it but I can ask.

I can't see this thing holding at or near its max wind speeds after crossing that much land.

Twas a drunken rage post with peer influence.

When we read it, there were chants of kick his arse seabass. However, being a lover not a fighter, I opted to call you a name.

I take responsibility for my actions and formally apologize.

Probably depends on what part of Florida it hits. SE LA doesn't weaken storms much at all due to all the terrain. Southern Florida is similar.

NOAA also does hurricane hunter flights. I've asked here, and done research online to try to find out the difference , if any, in what they're looking for between them and the USAF, but have never found a clear answer.

And therefore would make a good research topic to find out why.

I used the wrong word. Instead of 'apparent' I should have said 'fairly obvious.'

It's shouldnt be too surprising that a suite of models that ignore viscous dissipation, turbulent diffusion, internal heat release, and are derived from perturbation theory are all failing on a system that is relatively low Reynolds number, not dominated by convective forces (currently), more than likely exhibiting significant amounts of turbulent energy at diffusive scales, and spending most of its time unperturbed too far from reference quantities (i.e. pressure did not get very low for most of the development thus far).

Well let's hope all goes well. It hasn't been made public yet, but FEMA fired GOSHEP last week. Really unprecedented during a time like this

Not to mention that FEMA fired GOSHEP from handling its business last week. It hasn't been made public yet. This is unheard of and completely asinine during a disaster with the potential for more flooding looming

A guy I used to work with flies with the NOAA hurricane hunters out of Tampa. He's a meteorologist with an emphasis on the tropics... I think he has a master's degree.

finally some convection flaring up on the north side. Could get some significant development today.
