Since shear is a key source of energetics for midlatitude systems...

Man... that absolutely fascinates me. I have been asking allot about hurricanes in accordance with the subject matter of this site, but I do remember you saying that your specialty was extratropical transition (correct me if I am wrong) (?). I was reading about HF storms in an old issue of Mariners Weather log that my neighbor gave me (he is a great lakes big ship captain… had friends on the Edmund Fitzgerald and everything)… and it was something that really interested me. Unfortunately, my school and local library have little content on the matter of any substance. I was wondering if you have any good links to sites or articles on the matter?
