Hi Lowell. I think in order to obtain the best answer, or solution is to first determine how often there is a difference between the CMT and PDE and how much that difference is.

The second would be to determine which is more accurate regardless of the difference and how much of a difference that accuracy would be in making a FFA forecast.

And last but not least. Can any recording station make a CMT and PDE? If only a couple of stations are capable of making a CMT how much time would be lost while waiting for the results? Take Care…Don in creepy town
