Hurricane Hunter captures.

Northeast Outer Eyewall:


Northeast Inner Eyewall:


Southwest Inner Eyewall:


Southwest Outer Eyewall:


Peak velocities on this pass significantly higher in the outer eyewall than in the inner, on both the Left and Right Front Quadrants.

Cross Section along Hurricane Hunter's approximate path, looking SE, NE to left, where he began the pass, SW to right:


Convection heigth and intensity correlate well with measured windspeeds.

Correction...peak winds at flight levels higher in outer eyewall than inner, but surface winds still stronger in the NE inner eyewall. SW reversed.
