Below is a personal note to myself regarding the manifestation of two vortices at latitude 27 in both the Pacific and the Atlantic. The Pacific vortex is noted nearly in the same location of the one that still persists on May 17, 2007. The Atlantic vortex is more diffuse in this picture because there is more turbulence in the air mass once it passes over the continent, but, the location is approximately 48 degrees LONGITUDE. I am using very crude methods to determine the location of these vortices but I am certian it is in that longitude and latitude although not completely percise but more or less estimated. This phenomena is now seven days out from it's orgins noted above and they are still persisting.
Noted two small vortexes - one in mid atlantic and one pacific northeast of Hawaii. they were noted at the same time and disappeared at the same time. they lasted seven hours after this and then the 'eyes' were overcast and incorporated in larger cloud masses.
