Hoosier Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Pretty simple...I will post 2 500 mb maps for each event, usually a 12z and 00z map from that day. It's your job to guess which event it is. Some will be easy, some won't be. I will post additional maps, the month, etc. if it's too difficult. All events were significant for the Lakes and/or Ohio Valley. Winter, spring, summer, fall...it's all on the table. first one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baroclinic_instability Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I was going to post maps but couldn't find any, but here is a great writeup on the 1975 storm that sunk the Edmund Fitzgerald. Nice maps and analysis. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:UWZFX3Z7kQ0J:www.glerl.noaa.gov/pubs/fulltext/2006/20060016.pdf+edmund+fitzgerald+storm&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjnp_3jYPoIIcw559Z8QmNxuPRA5PRsIKxMxql1si8SbXEGhJ8dwCnYS_h5a5EGA25vT05a4HoxqC4316x1zLCql00Ces80Iho7O2oY5y8wOpFYTb8_EQrzuRWAhvbxYp8O2D8M&sig=AHIEtbSTsjiJimjf8i8ZpitzGiq_mf6ZTA&pli=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
