Ian Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I save most stuff to my desktop to post then delete it, but I've gathered a random collection over the years. I'm sure I deleted some great stuff too.. seems I saved mostly hurricane, t-storm, snowstorm imagery -- models/sat/radar/etc. Some of it is the obvious stuff, some is really random. Here's a selection.. I'll return with others later. I'll start with random instead of the big ticket stuff, my collection really starts in 2004.. guess that's when I started being good about saving stuff.

U_Thant Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 This just might be the farther east a TC or STC has ever occurred in the SPAC basin. 130W! The POES images I have of this are from 2-5 APR and were created in 2002 from an HRPT reader but I'm not sure this is the year the cyclone formed. IIRC this storm affected Pitcairn Island. It looks like it's well into the XT transition process here, but you can still see a pretty concentrated. well-organized central convective mass. After another couple days, the convection was waned and was stipped away, leaving a very tightly wound naked vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U_Thant Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I found a neat writeup on the above system....it actually had a life as far east as 124.0W! Unfreakingbelievable!!! http://www.australia...03/summ0210.htm SOUTHEAST PACIFIC CYCLONE OF APRIL, 2002 A cyclonic storm system formed in the Southeast Pacific in the vicinity of Pitcairn Island in early April, 2002. No tropical or subtropical cyclone warnings were issued on this system, although the New Zealand Meteorological Service did issue gale warnings in association with the LOW. The system was accompanied by some organized deep convection and at one point somewhat resembled a subtropical or even tropical cyclone. The author was present in several discussions at the AMS Hurricane and Tropical Meteorology Conference in San Diego in which the system was referred to as "the unnamed Southeast Pacific tropical cyclone" in early April. I later asked Dr. Karl Hoarau of Cergy-Pontoise University near Paris, who has had considerable experience in working with Dvorak analysis, to see if he could locate some images of the storm and render an opinion regarding its intensity and classification. Karl sent me the results of his analysis and a track for the cyclone several months ago. These are included below following a brief synoptic history of the cyclone. A special thanks to Karl for taking time to study the storm. A weak LOW was located approximately 325 nm east of Pitcairn Island around 1800 UTC on 31 March. The system moved slowly southwestward and gradually intensified with winds reaching gale force (1-min avg) around 1800 UTC on 2 April when it was centered about 225 nm south of Pitcairn. Motion then became southerly, and the system reached its peak intensity of 55 kts at 1800 UTC on 3 April when located about 400 nm south of Pitcairn. It subsequently moved southwestward and weakened quickly. (All the intensities referred to above were taken from Karl's track.) Following is Karl's discussion of the cyclone (slightly revised and edited): "This tropical cyclone formed from an upper trough related to a cold front. Despite a moderate northerly vertical wind shear, the stage of tropical depression was reached on the morning of April 1st. The depression was moving southwestward at 7 kts. The satellite picture showed a fully-exposed LLCC situated 0.5 deg north of the overcast with outflow good on the western side of the tropical depression. During the night of April 2nd, the shear increased and the distance between the LLCC and the CDO reached 0.8 deg. As a result, the MSW diminished to 25 kts. Under the influence of the subtropical ridge, the depression was moving west-southwestward at 11 kts. In the afternoon, the shear lessened a little and the intensification resumed. So, the minimal tropical storm intensity of 35 kts was reached at 1800 UTC. The storm still had a shear pattern with a fully-exposed LLCC located 0.3 deg west- northwest of a 110 nm diameter CDO. The cloud top temperatures were in the range of -60 C to -66 C. The tropical storm had by then curved its track towards the south at 4 kts. QuikScat data showed winds of 40 kts on the morning of April 3rd. In the evening, the maximum intensity of 55 kts was reached when the storm was centered near 31S, 130W, over SSTs of around 26 C. The convection had expanded and the LLCC was located 0.5 deg into the eastern part of the CDO with cloud top temperatures of -65 C to -69 C. The system exhibited a single polar outflow channel. Shortly afterwards the cyclone underwent a dramatic weakening due to the entrainment of dry air and westerly shear. By 1200 UTC on 4 April the fully-exposed LLCC was not associated anymore with a convective overcast. So, within 18 hours after peaking in intensity the severe tropical storm had weakened to a tropical disturbance." NOTE: SAB rendered a rating of T2.5/2.5 at 03/0752 UTC, but on the next bulletin at 03/1452 UTC assigned a subtropical rating of ST2.5/2.5. In an e-mail Karl stated that he disagreed with the 1452 UTC rating from SAB--he feels it was still tropical with a T-number of 3.5. Below is the track which Karl prepared for the cyclone: DATE TIME LAT LON MSW (1-min) (UTC) (kts) -------------------------------------------- 02 MAR 31 1800 24.7 S 124.0 W 20 02 APR 01 0000 25.0 S 124.3 W 25 02 APR 01 0600 25.5 S 124.8 W 30 02 APR 01 1200 26.2 S 125.6 W 30 02 APR 01 1800 26.8 S 126.6 W 30 02 APR 02 0000 27.3 S 127.7 W 25 02 APR 02 0600 27.7 S 128.7 W 25 02 APR 02 1200 28.2 S 129.7 W 30 02 APR 02 1800 28.6 S 130.1 W 35 02 APR 03 0000 28.9 S 130.2 W 40 02 APR 03 0600 29.7 S 130.2 W 40 02 APR 03 1200 30.6 S 129.9 W 50 02 APR 03 1800 31.2 S 130.2 W 55 02 APR 04 0000 31.8 S 130.8 W 45 02 APR 04 0600 32.4 S 131.6 W 30 02 APR 04 1200 33.1 S 132.6 W 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
