NOAA WP-3D SFMR
Surface winds in light blue,
aerosonde winds in black,
buoy winds in dark blue.
Aersonde closest approach
to wind center was 30 nm
southwest and 25 nm
northeast. Peak winds at
2500 ft were 65 kt southeast
of center and 75 kt north
of center. Excellent agreement
was found between buoy,
SFMR and aerosonde winds
adjusted to surface values.
SFMR winds SW of center were
within 10 min of aerosonde.
