REMARKS:
NOTHING UNUSUAL OCCURRED THROUGH THE FLIGHT. WE WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY
AN EYEWALL FOR 3 OF THE 5 VDM'S HOWEVER, ON THE LAST FIX WE WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY ONE. AT THE SAME TIME, NOAA42 REPORTED CONCENTRIC EYEWALLS POTENTIALLY GOING THROUGH AN EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLE AT FL100. I BELIEVE THAT AS THE OUTER EYEWALL BECAME MORE DOMINANT OVER THE INNER, THE INFLOW WAS CUT OFF. AS A RESULT, THE WALL AT FL050 BROKE DOWN AND BECAME RAGGED BEYOND RECOGNITION. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF AN OUTER EYEWALL AT FL050.
