[edit] Beryl a Hurricane?

Beryl's winds were measured at 63 knots, which nowadays is rounded up to the nearest 5...65 knots, hurricane strength. Thoughts? -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 22:44, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Good question. I would say in the re-analysis of the Hurricane Database, it will be upgraded. Hurricanehink 22:46, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

What's good about having your own, personal hurricane database is that you can make your own objective descisions. I list Beryl in my database as a hurricane. If Beryl happened today, I'm convinced it would be designated a hurricane. But such a change is not allowed here per the original research policy. -- Hurricane Eric archive -- my dropsonde 02:05, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Because such a decision is not objective. Jdorje 01:53, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

I've found in Ernesto's report that an aircraft found winds around the same as Beryl's, at 62 knots.Mitchazenia V3.0 21:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images for each storm

• Hurricane Alberto
• Subtropical Storm One
• Tropical Storm Beryl- This is an edited version of the one from the article.
• Tropical Storm Chris
• Hurricane Debby
• Ernesto- Bad news. There's no Ernesto picture. :(

Well, I couldn't get all of them... It was bound to happen :( 1981 might be similar to this. I'll do that year later. Hurricanehink 20:11, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm really sorry. But work done :) juan andrés 04:27, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] B-Class yet?

Well, here's my work so far:

1. Lengthened Ernesto.
2. Added a seasonal activity section.
3. Referneces added.
4. Chris has more impact.

Think its ready?Mitchazenia V3.0 21:06, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

{{tl:Cite web}} is needed throughout the entire article. The sections need better storm histories. The whole thing needs a copyedit. Useless things should be trimmed (like mentioning SS1 was the first subtropical storm; it was the only subtropical storm). In general, act as if you were writing individual articles for each storm. That's what's needed for each section; good storm history covering the basics, and impact for everywhere it affected. Research a bit. Hurricanehink (talk) 21:20, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Can you do the cite web-as i am no good at it.Mitchazenia V3.0 21:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

You gotta learn :P Hurricanehink (talk) 21:40, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I've tried. I went poorly.Mitchazenia V3.0 22:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Which is why you should experiment and keep trying until it works. Remember, you need to cite every last statement in the entire article. Hurricanehink (talk) 22:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ernesto picture

This will be biting me for ages. I know that's Ernesto, but I really believe a more "complete" picture can be found, so I uploaded this IR image as a placeholder until a better image can be found, which I'm working on. Jake52 My talk 07:24, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

There's probably one in the CLASS archives. You might be able to use old (1978-85) GAC data if you have a registered version of HRPT Reader. Good kitty 17:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Replaced with a FAR better image. Jake52 My talk 20:37, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

What's the source for that? The source you provided looks nothing like the image in the article. Hurricanehink (talk) 20:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, little misstep there, that's the profile on the old picture. Hold on, I'll upload the picture with the updated data. Jake52 My talk 20:52, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I used the CLASS GAC archives to do Ernesto here and, as an epilogue, I uploaded all storms in need of pictures to the 79 season. I will do Katrina (81) later, but after Katrina, I'll be occupied with picture searching on recent storms so we have the best pictures for the best articles.

Nice. Hurricanehink (talk) 23:08, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
