• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Increased pressure drop in core?

I am very luckey to get out in the field as much as I do, so I want to make that time as productive as possible. Over the past couple of years I've heard mumblings from the scientific community about the barometric pressure in the core being on a much stepper cure that thought over the past decade or so. eg; more damage to structures due to a rapid decrease in pressure? When I'm out I am fortunate enough to have some exterior monitoring equuipment on my truck. But as we all know when things happen, they happen quick and watching monitor displays are short in nature at best. I have made the decesion this year to pay more attention to pressure readings. Any comments about this would be greatly appreciated.
 
Did you mean the rain core?

Tim Samaras's probe from back in 2003 or 2004 did record a very steep pressure drop when his "turtle" probe had a successful deployment.

Note: You can even see the possible presence of another pressure drop that may have been another vortex in a multi-vortex tornado. Tim himself may explain that more, I'm not really into the research/meteorology side of chasing.
 
Thanks Jason, and yes I did mean "rain core". And Aaron ditto.
 
Wow, the time scale on that 194-mb drop is tiny compared to the one obtained from Tim's data.
