H.  REMARKS...0423Z AMSU PASS SHOWED LLC VERY CLOSE BUT NNW OF A
CONVECTIVE TOWER OR TWO...SINCE CIRRUS SHIELD OF THIS CONVECTION OVERTOPS
THE LLC THE SHEAR METHOD WOULD RESULT IN A VALUE UNREALISTIC EVEN IF
THE CLUSTER IS TOO SMALL TO OBTAIN DT GREATER THAN 2.5. SO BANDING OF
.2 WAS EMPLOYED WITH THE AID OF THE AMSU PASS TOWARD FINDING THE ACTIVE
CONVECTION... YIELDING A DT OF 1.0. MET IS WAY UNREALISTIC AT 2.5 AND
SUBSEQUENTLY MAKES THE PT OF 2.0 UNUSABLE AS WELL. SO FT IS 1.0 BASED
ON BANDING DT. CI IS 1.5 PER WEAKENING RULES.
