H.  REMARKS...VERY LARGE MONSOON TROF EXTENDS FROM SOUTHERN MARIANAS
ISLANDS TO NEAR 151E AND SCATTEROMETER DATA INDICATES AN EMBEDDED
SMALL CLOSED LLC TO THE EAST OF SAIPAN WHICH IS ALSO SUPPORTED BY SFC
WINDS AND SWIR LOOP.  CONVECTION IS VERY COLD ALONG THE ENTIRE SOUTHERN
SIDE OF THE TROF WITH LIMITED BANDING PARTICULARLY SE AND E OF THE LLC.
HOWEVER THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE TROF IS WELL CURVED AT .3 NEAR GUAM AND
CDG... DT OF 2.0 IS ESTIMATED.  THOUGH THIS IS NOT REALLY REALISTIC TO
DETERMINE THE FT... IT DOES WARRANT INITIAL CLASSIFICATION BASED ON MET
WHICH IS 1.0. PT IS ALSO 1.0.
