H.  REMARKS...SMALL EYE WAS SEEN AND MAXIMIZED A DT OF 4.5 AT
2100Z...THOUGH EMBEDDED CENTER AFTERWARD ALSO SUPPORTS DT OF 4.5 FOR
EMBEDDING IN LG... THE METHOD CANNOT BE EMPLOYED DUE TO RULES OF FT
EQUAL TO 3.5 12HRS PRIOR. SINCE GIL IS VERY SMALL IN SIZE THE CDO ONLY
MEASURES 1.25 DEGREES IN DIAMETER FOR A CF OF 3.0 AND BF COULD ONLY ADD
AN ADDITIONAL .5 GENEROUSLY FOR THAT DT METHOD TO BE 3.5. OLD RELIABLE
BANDING USING THE OVERSHOOTING TOPS IN VISIBLE IMAGERY MEASURES 1.1 OR
1.2 ON LOG10 FOR DT OF 4.0...GIVEN ALL METHODS/STYLES THIS AVERAGES
WELL FOR OFFICIAL DT TO BE 4.0. MET IS UNREALISTIC 3.0. PT IS FORCED
INTO 3.5 AS IT CANNOT BE GREATER THAN .5 FROM THE MET.  FT IS BASED ON
DT BUT THIS IS ALSO THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE D1.0 IN 6HRS ANYWAY.
