Re: Ivan landfalls
- Yes, I saw that. The first page image is of Ivan flooding inland.
What is interesting is in the tail feeder band that extends all the
way to Galvanston Texas from Florida, there is an 'eye' in the tail.
(The image was created as a joke for a friend). That eye and low are
not the same, because warm saltwater is much more conductive than
land, and a capacitive coupling occurs between ionosphere and Gulf,
but not over the low. Such is the dynamics of landfalling eyewall
And such was the dynamic of Allison, which sat as a low over Texas,
but still electrically kept the WGOM full of high cirrus and feeder
> At any rate, I did manage to find one satellite image oflandfalling Ivan.
