Re: Category 2

You guys know much and I would like some clarification as to the info in the recons. What ratio do you use to extrapolate surface winds from flight level winds? And what about all this talk about the temperature differential between the inner and outer wall? Is there some rough rule of thumb to figure out intensity from this differential. Finally what is the significance of the 700mb height? I appreciate your illumination for the hurricane beginner.
