Re: Can Anybody Name This Storm?

Thanks MJP that’s the confirmation I was looking for, and even though I’d ruled out Allen and Isis, Clark was right.

The reason I’d ruled out Isis as the Epac storm was the last report I found for her was advisory #24 on 08/05/12Z and she was a fading TD with 30 mph winds. Yet I placed Allen at the location shown very close to 08/08/00Z (advisory #31). It was close but not a match as I saw it.

Obviously Isis re-intensified and/or data is missing from the Unisys history files I’m using, because my photo, and the slide, both clearly show a much stronger system than that. Regardless, you have found a match with that .ppt.

Do you have any additional info on the photo in that .ppt? My real goal here is to identify the space craft that took the photo, since my career has been spent launching space craft of all types I want to know. And as Clark pointed out, there really wasn’t anything in that geostationary position at that time (at least not that we know about). Also, to my knowledge GOES couldn’t produce that resolution and field of view all at the same time back then.

The photo in the .ppt appears to be from the same location, and if I assume some resolution was lost in digitizing the photo and zooming in on the gulf, it could be from the same satellite and instrument. Considering the photo on slide 7 is from only a few hours after my photo, it almost certainly confirms a geostationary position too. Judging from the convective storm clouds over Florida, I’d guess only about 6 hours difference. The source of the photos used on the slides could have all the answers I’m after.

I certainly appreciate your research and help. You have no idea how much time I’ve put into this without finding any photographic match. Please post any additional info you have.
