The last advisory on Alberto has now been written, cause of death a mix of dry air, wind shear, and cool surface temperatures. But we got one interesting NHC discussion from the storm:
TROPICAL STORM ALBERTO DISCUSSION NUMBER 9
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL012012
500 PM EDT MON MAY 21 2012
DATA FROM AN AIR FORCE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT CONFIRM THAT ALBERTO IS STILL A TROPICAL STORM. MAXIMUM SFMR-OBSERVED SURFACE WINDS WERE 37 KT AND PEAK 1000 FT FLIGHT-LEVEL WINDS WERE 39 KT. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT SEVERAL YACHTS FROM THE VOLVO OCEAN RACE HAVE BEEN SAILING NOT FAR FROM...OR THROUGH...THE CENTER OF ALBERTO...AND HAVE ALSO MEASURED WINDS OF TROPICAL STORM FORCE. ONE OF THE YACHTS MEASURED A PRESSURE VERY CLOSE TO THE ESTIMATED CENTRAL PRESSURE OF THE STORM.
