Something which everyone on this planet should be able to do. ================================================= =================== Norman, clearly you are correct when you say that the 12Z runs were *apparently* ignored. But the Chief forecaster on duty must have had his reasons as one would ignore model data at your peril, particularly when it is backed up by the GFS or other models. Perhaps he was "twitchy" (as I was) about the low developing in a data sparse area, the obvious developmental satellite imagery and the analysed 160 knot plus jet ? Will. As I said, hindsight is a wonderful thing ![]() not the Chief Forecaster on duty having to deal with it in real time. As someone who started his career in the days of "pencil and rubber" forecasting I get some satisfaction out of seeing that the problems of operational forecasting have not yet been completely cracked ![]() Norman (delete "thisbit" twice to e-mail) -- Norman Lynagh Weather Consultancy Chalfont St Giles England |

Out of interest with newer and more advanced satellites being put into
the earths orbit, will this 'sparse data area' have more coverage in the future? I'm sure we have the technology to monitor the various atmospheric components on a 3D scale, temperature, water vapour, ice, wind velocity, shear, etc, etc, etc. Surely this is the only way forward.
