Or rather...

"MY WAVE REMNANT LOW IS ALIVE"

I had no idea "Gonzo" (the NOAA jet) was going out today to see the remnant low that was (may soon be again) TD #2.

Today's few obs from the jet:
http://tropicalatlantic.com/recon/recon.cgi?basin=al&year=2009&identifier=TD2(Ana)&mission=WX&agency=NOAA&aircraft=9&month=08&day=15&product=sonde

Intriguing that they are sampling out there. I wonder how much they are doing and whether it will have some affect on the models for the two potentials to be Ana and Bill.

I wasn't even bothering looking for recon yet. (today was a non tasked mission) Looks like tomorrow "Gonzo" and "Miss Piggy" will do some research missions too.
