H. Minimum Sea Level Pressure: 993mb (29.32 inHg)
I. Maximum Flight Level Temp & Pressure Altitude Outside Eye: 14°C (57°F) at a pressure alt. of 1,533m (5,030ft)
J. Maximum Flight Level Temp & Pressure Altitude Inside Eye: 22°C (72°F) at a pressure alt. of 1,522m (4,993ft)
K. Dewpoint Temp (collected at same location as temp inside eye): 17°C (63°F)
8 degree Celsius spread between the Outside Eye temp and the Inside Eye temp. Vacuum is working better.
5 degree Celsius dewpoint spread inside the Eye/ Center. This means the air inside is drying out. Which is a precursor to the Eye clearing out vertically. The vacuum is working, but it is still not at 100 percent efficiency.
