[snip stuff about reassessment]
Other storms are also being reassessed.
Have any storms been reassessed downwards in intensity?
Yes. http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/project2003/hurdat.html
I sent off my question before I completely formulated it.
What I should have asked was:
Have any storms been reassessed downwards in intensity
based on actual reanalysis of data from the GPS dropwindsonde
and/or the SFMR. Or, are relationships derived from
observations taken by these instruments in storm A
used to re-estimate winds in storm B. I mean, there
weren't these new dropwindsonde data in '92 -- so
is it "just" (I'm not overlooking the tremendous
amount of work done) a matter of reanalysing the
old data based on the new relationships found with
the new instruments? Did I read through the links
in the above link correctly? So it's not like new
data has been found the old storms like Andrew,
right?
Scott, maybe confused
