This page includes planned missions to investigate disturbed weather and storms. It also contains recon data.

How to read the Plan of the Day
Chapter 5 and Appendix G of the National Hurricane Operations Plan can be read for an understanding of how our site's recon decoder works.
In addition to our site's vortex decoder, you can also find one here: http://flhurricane.com/recon/
That site's older decoder can also decode the older supplementary vortex message which is no longer used.
Here is a really good paper about the estimated reduction factors that can help estimate the surface winds in storms based on flight level winds:
