They use recon data I believe. At least in part. As for some recon...
NOAA sonde at 9:45am EDT: 931mb with 5 knots of surface wind.
There's some even more powerful winds above the surface. The following are momentary winds (maybe half a second), not 1 minute sustained.
A sonde launched at 9:15am EDT in eyewall:
936mb Surface (Sea Level) ... Wind unavailable
925mb ... 101m (331 ft) ... 120 mph
922mb ... Unsure of height ... 180 mph
850mb ... 847m (2,779 ft) ... 112 mph
Another sonde from 8:07am EDT had 180 mph at 919mb, but a few millibars above the surface the wind was 87 mph.
Some of the sondes may have been thrown from the eyewall to some extent though, further away from the strongest winds. |
