REMARKS:
13 RECCOs, 16 drops, 4 VDMs, 64 HDBs (33 total obs)
This was a 09/1130Z & 1730Z fix mission into Tropical Storm Nicole. The center was estimated to be at 26.6N 76.4W. We flew at FL050 and entered from the SW for the first alpha pattern and the NE for the second pattern. Overall it was a stronger tropical storm that formed a well-defined closed eye by the 4th fix. The max surface winds from the SFMR was 68kts, 72kts at flight level, and the lowest pressure was 985mb (NW was the strongest quadrant). As far as issues, we had a GPS FOM error of 5 and switched from C to F at 0900Z. Additionally, the hygrometer was reading too cold, but an MABC and restart of mission manager fixed this problem.
