Re: how do they determine hurricanes?

Thanks for posting that, CoalCracker -- I didn't have a link off-hand to the project website. I've been anxiously awaiting our (FSU) contribution to the project, as that may involve some work for me as well, but I think we don't really come in until the 1930s or so, given that our primary involvement is upon cyclone structure, detection, and phase change using model analyses, which only become decent about that time.

Nevertheless, it is a very interesting project that has produced some good work already -- see the Hurricane Andrew upgrade for the most memorable example, with the San Diego hurricane of 1858 (http://flhurricane.com/cyclone/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=34947&an=0&page=0#34947) being another -- with the more recent parts of the database still to come.
