On a lighter note, I wonder whether any experts here feel that there is
justification for a higher resolution monitoring grid in the Atlantic
now?.
I know QuikScat was supposed to assist in the collection of data from
sparse
areas but is there justification to take this further?

Well done to the GFS which detected the change of track on Saturday 00z
run.

Well done to you Andrew for a nice "after the event" post :-)

best regards,
Alan
