Hi All, Yes, my apologies -- I got the direction reversed. It was WNW to ESE. (In my defense, I made the mistake of taking one of the early witness reports at face value that the direction was going "east to west".)
Based on the Doppler data, the westernmost returns are at much higher altitude than the easternmost returns, so there is no doubt this was travelling toward the ESE. --Rob -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2010 1:13 PM To: Matson, Robert D.; [email protected] Subject: Re: Livingston, WI fall Looks like WNW to ESE.
