Sure..from the FSU guide to decoding recon... A. Date and time of fix... B. Latitude of the vortex fix in degrees and minutes... Longitude of the vortex fix in degrees and minutes... C. Minimum height of a standard pressure level, given in meters... . D. Estimate of maximum surface wind observed in knots... E. Bearing and range from center of the maximum surface wind, given in degrees and nautical miles... F. Maximum flight level wind near storm center with direction from center given in degrees, and speed in knots... G. Bearing and range from center of maximum flight level wind, given in degrees and nautical miles from the storm center... H. Minimum sea level pressure computed from dropsonde or extrapolation from within 1500 feet of the sea surface, given in millibars... I. Maximum flight level temperature in Celsius / Pressure altitude in meters, OUTSIDE the eye... J. Maximum flight level temperature in Celsius / Pressure altitude in meters, INSIDE the eye... K. Dewpoint temperature in Celsius / Sea surface temperature in Celsius inside the eye... L. Eye character...brief verbal description such as poorly defined, closed wall, open to NW, etc. M. Eye shape orientation and diameter...Eye shapes are codes as follows: C-circular; CO-concentric; E-elliptical. Orientation of major axis of ellipse is transmitted in tens of degrees, and all diameters are transmitted in nautical miles. N. Confirmation of lat/long/time fix with format as in A and B above. O. Fix determined by / fix level...There are five means of determining fixes and nine means of indicating fix level. The fix determination will be a series of one to five numbers depending on how many items were used to determine the position of the storm center. The coding is as follows: 1-Penetration, 2-Radar, 3-Wind, 4-Pressure, 5-Temperature. The fix level will be either one or two numbers, depending on whether or not the surface and flight level centers were the same. The surface center will be given if visible, both the surface and flight level centers will be indicated only when they're the same. The coding is as follows: 0-surface, 1-1500 ft, 8-850 mb, 7-700 mb, 5-500 mb, 4-400 mb, 3-300 mb, 2-200 mb, 9-Other. P. Navigation fix accuracy in nm / Meteorological accuracy in nm... Q.
