[GMT 09/19/05 19:46:47] BradSmull-nrl, as an alternative, could reverse track from your norht point and go back around downwind. that might help. then exit S side. [GMT 09/19/05 19:46:50] yeah! [GMT 09/19/05 19:47:22] BobHouze-Ops-- we agree, that might be the better idea [GMT 09/19/05 19:49:09] BobHouze-Ops-- we'll probably be turning and working a downwind leg on the southside of the rainband [GMT 09/19/05 19:50:31] Jasmine-nrlp3, clarify. do you mean with the rainband on your right? [GMT 09/19/05 19:51:25] BobHouze-Ops-- no, it will be on our left. [GMT 09/19/05 19:52:33] Jasmine-nrlp3, why are you not going to outside? And whay are you not going to the norht pont?

[GMT 09/19/05 20:00:54] mblack-n43, the reason is that NRL turned out at 24 and are now going downwind on the outside of the band. [GMT 09/19/05 20:01:12] after N43 reaches our SW point-willl track through eye to north then to MacDill [GMT 09/19/05 20:01:59] Passing by impressive line of cells to our left in NW quad [GMT 09/19/05 20:02:51] ShuyiChen-opc-- Just wanted to confirm that we have been dropping every 12 on this upwind leg. Do you want to return to 7 min drops or continue every 12 min now that we are going downwind? [GMT 09/19/05 20:03:16] mblack-n43, no need to go to far SW since NRL is going there. It would be better to turn into the center at 24, back to center, then NW to McDill [GMT 09/19/05 20:03:21] Jasmine: good, 7 min is fine. [GMT 09/19/05 20:03:24] mblack-n43, and Jasmine-nrlp3 what are your flight level winds ? [GMT 09/19/05 20:04:11] 45 kts flt-lev; -12-14 km echo tops on tail radar [GMT 09/19/05 20:05:22] arent you seeing flt level winds from n43 as part of the 1hz data stream??

[GMT 09/19/05 20:11:29] ShuyiChen-opc-- yes, just a typo from me! [GMT 09/19/05 20:11:49] OK thx, jasmine. [GMT 09/19/05 20:12:03] BradSmull-nrl, yes the band pretty much ends there [GMT 09/19/05 20:12:35] We are turning to track 90 and have had strong feature to our left, but intensityappears to drop off ahead (to our east) [GMT 09/19/05 20:12:52] BradSmull-nrl, that is correct [GMT 09/19/05 20:14:30] flying thru huge are of stratiform now with some imbedded convection [GMT 09/19/05 20:14:36] OK - then should we reverse track or again switch to N side of band? [GMT 09/19/05 20:14:36] LF looks very messy to us on N side... [GMT 09/19/05 20:14:49] BradSmull-nrl, we recommend reversing at your easten point and heading west then NW to go back to TPA [GMT 09/19/05 20:15:40] OK --eastern most point for NRL is 76 W, correct? [GMT 09/19/05 20:15:52] BradSmull-nrl, affirmative [GMT 09/19/05 20:16:09] Thanks Bob! [GMT 09/19/05 20:16:29] mblack-n43, what's your plan from here? [GMT 09/19/05 20:18:05] we are working our way around the band to point due south of ctr- [GMT 09/19/05 20:18:34] then w'ell track due north thru ctr and exit to the NW for MacDill [GMT 09/19/05 20:19:24] mblack: that's good, give us another ctr fix. [GMT 09/19/05 20:19:49] mblack-n43, when you are back in the NW quadrant, can you do a short leg parallel to one of the bands in that sector? [GMT 09/19/05 20:21:04] mblack-n43, specifically on the inside of one of those bands. NRL never got up there on their inside track [GMT 09/19/05 20:22:48] Probably-we'll check on our time when we get near ctr- any particular band? there are several in that sector-we flew between bands last time [GMT 09/19/05 20:23:54] BobHouze-Ops-- we're turning to reverse track now. We will NOT drop any more sondes here on out. [GMT 09/19/05 20:24:24] Jasmine-nrlp3, copy that...if possible, keep the echoes close on your right side [GMT 09/19/05 20:24:30] mblack: how many RAINEX sondes have you dropped? Any left? [GMT 09/19/05 20:25:10] mblack-n43, I see two or 3 good bands with inside edges at about 24.5/76.5 [GMT 09/19/05 20:25:17] Deanna-ops-- ok, will do [GMT 09/19/05 20:28:38] mblack-n43, do you have a current storm center? [GMT 09/19/05 20:29:43] Bob: we'll be out of the rain in 12-14minutes-we can track thru eye then noorthbound to work a saml section of a band on N or NNW side [GMT 09/19/05 20:30:34] jose_boulder (meitin@rdcc.guest.ucar.edu) joined &RAINEX.
