Reconnecting to the ITCZ
Posted by JAC on 8/11/2009, 7:19 am


MIMIC-TPW is showing the rolling blob reconnecting to the ITCZ.

850mb vorticity has gotten a bit deeper but still relatively wide.

Anti-cyclone still overhead - obviuosly shear is zero for all intents and purposes.

Moving into higher SSTs.

I think it is shaking off some dry air intrusion due to the fact it was going thru the Walker-Cell down-draft zone.

Obviously, that zone has since broken down.

Maybe one more day of consolidation.

I hope the models are not underestimating this.

Will be able to tell alot more later today with the VIS sats.
