Cyclone Center Talk
I would say eye. There are some pink pixels in the middle with a pretty clear gradient up to the blue.
Young storms are always the toughest. My first instinct is #curved-band with minimal curvature, but you could probably do it either way 😃
Oh wow, yes it does. I suppose this storm started out around Polaris somewhere.
IBTrACS is basically the current standard, call the "best track". It's the closest thing to a consensus among agencies that we've got.
I can't say here w/o looking at data, but we HAVE seen some miscalibrations in the satellite, so #artifact is also a possibility.
A glance at #ibtracs reveals that this is just after landfall in SE India. The white line is the Indian coastline.
Others may disagree wildly. It'll be interesting to see the spread we get on this one.
This is a really tough center to peg. I would probably put it just to the SE of the darkest blue, right on the edge of the red.
But this is the place to find out what others are saying about it, if anything! I would also probably go with #no-storm on this one.
We won't be displaying any stats about what other users have selected, as we don't want to unintentionally bias the results.
I'm calling this one a #curved-band because it's got a pretty good rainbow/eyebrow shape going on.
Hmm, this is a tough one. My first instinct is #shear-storm, based on the asymmetry (the flat edge near the darker blue).
Yes, now that you point it out, I believe you're right. I had originally pegged the ctr further into the convection.
It appears I would get outvoted on this if we were all classifying it 😃
Whoa, when did that show up?
I thought about that for a second, but I decided it was too nice and round.
Hurricane Andrew making #landfall near Miami, FL, as a Category 5 storm. Very well pronounced #eye, virtually no #banding.
This is a textbook #eye-storm. The #eye appears as dark gray (all the way to the ocean surface below) with cold eyewall clouds surrounding.
#developing-eye
#embedded-center
Sounds good. I will bring it up at our team meeting today.
Certainly, do you guys have a list of "recommended" tags, or should we perhaps come up with one so that we're using a standard convention?
This is a great example of a developing eye. The eye is not all the way down to the surface, but is clearly warmer than the eyewall.
