Ignacio 1979 I was wondering what conditions led to Hurricane Ignacio 1979 making such a sharp right turn? It seems like a no brainer that it must have been a high pressure system to the North....my question is ......was it predicted to turn by forcasters? What satellite or other forcasting equipment was in use then? Could a similar turn be missed given the technology in use today? I did a Googled Hurricane Ignacio http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Ignacio There were several Hurricane's name Ignacio (seems like there are enough names out there to not have to use any name twice, much less 5 times! I went back to the Hurricane Ignacio page and checked the "talk" and "revision history" of the page, not much there. click on Ignacio 1979 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_Pacific_hurricane_season Cool map, interseting summary of the season....... Ignacio was the 9th hurricane...but not what I am looking for. Strangley enough the next storm after Ignacio 1979 was a hurricane named Jimena... the same name of the storm off our coast now......spooky? I went to the refrences and dowloaded the PDF paper by Emil B. Gunther (1980). http://ams.allenpress.com/archive/1520-0493/108/5/pdf/i1520-0493-108-5-631.pdf Page 1 states that they had good satalitte coverage in those day's. Down to page 10, a more detailed account of the hurricane but it only say's "it turned east" nothing about if they predictded the turn. Back to the Google page, I clicked on this link http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2003/IGNACIO.shtml Exactly what I am looking for but for the 2003 Ignacio, not the 1979 one. I clicked on the top "Graphic Archive" link, it took me to all the graphics for the 2003 storm! Cool, never seen that before. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2003/IGNACIO_graphics.shtml Bottom of that page link "storm Archives" http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastall.shtml Tons of information but not what I want. I decided to refine my search Googled Hurricane Ignacio 1979 Got this site with very nice graphics, no information http://www.stormpulse.com/pacific/hurricane-ignacio-1979 Most other sites just duplicated what was on the National Hurricane Center's site This was a tid bit http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/1979-pacific-hurricane-season/1979-storm-names.html Here is a fun quiz http://www.gotoquiz.com/northern_hemisphere_hurricane_quiz This is a cool map of Ignacio (and other storms) select 1979 then click the + sign next to Ignacio. Zoom in http://stormadvisory.org/map/pacific/east/ Here is a NASA world weather clip.........wild! Click on one and watch a time lapse of the global weather for a year (the http://tinyurl.com/kutxby Here is a very unusual way of showing Ingacio......but its not the one I want http://tinyurl.com/m76u6k I did not go past page two of the Google search for Hurricane Ignacio 1979.... anyone want to continue the search? |
