Re: Feature fun and goodness

I am familiar with a lot of the lingo, but this kinda through me for a loop:
"A QUIKSCAT PASS AT 1036Z INDICATED A LARGE AREA
OF UNFLAGGED 30 KT WINDS..."

What is meant by UNFLAGGED and FLAGGED winds?

PS - You may not have remembered, but I posted some comments (around the first week of June) about the correlation between an active Tornado season and an active Hurricane season. Either this is a fluke or it may have some truth to it. I am very aware that there are about a thousand other factors, but I will continue to document this and see if it holds true for future seasons.

Although I do not post very often, I greatly appreciate your work here!
