Re: Tropical Storm Isaac Forecast Lounge

Ships model is showing a possible RI event. 36% chance.
Prob of RI for 25 kt RI threshold= 36% is 2.8 times the sample mean(12.8%)
Prob of RI for 30 kt RI threshold= 17% is 2.0 times the sample mean( 8.4%)

I've never paid much attention to the parameter below. If those numbers are Helicity in m2/s2, that's some major spinning going on. Which is what we have been seeing on the sats.
