There is no doubt tropical depression and tropical storm Gordon is growing and growing; but the question remains where on Earth is Gordon going? We know he keeps on blowing and the infrared images from NOAA and NASA have him glowing but the Super Computers have no idea where exactly he is going and the data simply is not showing. Each year meteorologists are originally baffled by Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Season storms, whether they be Tropical Depressions, Tropical Storms or even full on Hurricanes. Sometimes you have to watch them a bit and watch the surrounding weather patterns begin to interact with them. And whereas that may indeed sound easy, any experienced weather man from NOAA, The National Hurricane Center in Miami, The Weather Channel or even the scientists and research back up team from the Hurricane Hunter USAF Squadron will tell you it is far from easy to predict massive storm systems or large category storms. Luckily for all of us our technology is nearly twice as good today as it was five years ago and it is getting better every year as research grants and monies are spent to make Hurricane Prediction more of a science than an art. I hope you will consider all this in 2006. |
