For those using the HDOBs to track Recon.

The last message was sent just prior to the SW Eyewall penetration. Hence, the weaker windspeeds.

The next message should be more indicative of the current NE Quadrant strength.

Check the lat/ longs.. They are going North and East.
Flying from the SW Quadrant TO the NE Quadrant.

THe NE Quadrant is normally where the highest wind speeds will be found.

Also new to 2007. The Max Flight Level WInd Speed on the inbound leg- into the EYE.
Is amended as necessary on line "P". IF the outbound Max Flight Level Wind Speeds are higher than they were when the vortex message was transmitted.

This can be done using a "Corrected " Vortex Data Message.
