Re: terminology

thanks again clark, i feel slightly less unintelligent. and i'm somewhat comforted that skeetobite is slightly confused as well! (thanks for your maps)
is the "they" who first determine an "invest" rating, and who later assign a numerical, the nws? but that would not cover all global would it?
i believe it was the nws who decided to give a new number to what eventually became katrina, is that correct? the explanation given at that time seemed rational, at least to a relatively superficial observer such as myself.
