When are they going to use your name for a Hurricane? Who came up with the titles of the National Hurricane Advisories WTNT32.KNHC, MIASPFAT3, what do they mean? And then you've been looking at the strike probabilities of the storm, but the advisories are using those strange abbreviations, which island is TDPR or what's the code for St.Martin? Not sure about how many nautical miles are in a kilometer? Or how knots relate to miles per hour? And how can I calculate without too much work how far a storm is located from the Caribbean Islands. Tracking and plotting the coordinates of the current position and its forecast of hurricanes is fun (as long as the eye stays away.)! But sometimes confusing! Those advisories from the National Hurricane Center use all those different units knots, kilometers, miles, nautical miles, etc. (both stories courtesy of THE LIAT ISLANDER MAGAZINE - the inflight magazine of LIAT - The Caribbean Airline) The Hurricane Hunters (published June 1996).Wild is the Wind (published August 2002).Flying into the eye of a Category 4 Hurricane (published in 2004, LIAT Islander Magazine).Special Hurricane Hunters Features by Martha Watkins Gilkes:.In case of emergency: the Amateur Radio Operators are standing by.Saffir Simpson Hurricane Intensity Scale.Current Weather Conditions on the Islands.Island Abbreviations (Station Identifiers) in Strike Probability Advisories.
