You are probably referring to Advisory 29 of Hurricane Frances. Stacey Stewart goes into detail with the forecast discussion why the Gulfstream IV jet data was so important at that time to determine the strength of the ridging and movement of that storm. Until that detail is cleared up, the GFDL is an outlier. But to be honest, I don't expect them to find anything too far from what we already know. However, the NHC is putting extra effort into collecting data, so there is some legitimate question about the ridging.
