The 7 am CT Public Advisory reported this buoy had 109 mph sustained wind at 400' elevation on the platform. My question, marine winds are reported in knots, not mph. Satellite presentation is the best I've seen Ike in a couple of days, despite northerly shear affecting it and does have what appears to be an eye and some cold, cold tops around it. Maybe the mets here might want to request verification whether these winds are in fact miles per hour or knots; if it is knot, it suggest Ike is in fact a Category 4 storm, though recent recon data refutes this data.
