This study makes detailed retrospective surface wind analyses Donna utilizing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Research Division's (HRD) H*Wind analysis system. Analyses were produced intervals 6 h between 1800 UTC 9 1200 11 while was close Florida. These depict storm track as well distribution extent tropical force, 50 kt (25.7 m s−1), hurricane-force radii throughout this time period include new methodologies for adjusting aircraft flight-level data in cyclone core environment.
