Re: Recon is in there

No, it never hit 920 before.

What's odd is that they dropped extra dropsounds, including at least one in the eyewall, yet the surface pressure is extrapolated. I don't get this - they should have had a surface reading for pressure.

Second, there is no radius given on the eyewalls. What are they?

Third, we have a very low temperature differential between inside and outside the eyewall; this would indicate an ERC is underway.

Fourth, pressure is down, but so is wind speed. Either they didn't get a good representation of the wind speed, or something is causing the windspeed to fall other than the pressure. Any ideas?
