Gross" James, I realize there is little hope for you to fulfill the following request on such short notice, given the fact that you are on mids with two or perhaps three systems to follow. But not knowing your software, let me request it anyway in the hopes that there maybe a chance of fulfilling it. Can you reproduce your Figures 1 and 3 from "The Case for Upgrading Hurricane Andrew to Category 5" where the flight level winds (your solid red/orange triangles) were reduced using the old flight level wind reduction to the surface coefficient used during the early 90's? Thanks for your consideration of this request, Jim James M. Gross Research Meteorologist National Hurricane Center Techniques Development and Applications Unit
