- Comment There's some diagonal scan lines visible. Is this inevitable? Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.7% of all FPs 06:10, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
- From what I could find the scans are about 10km wide and 1.5 seconds apart [1], so some of it is inevitable I suppose due to turbulent conditions. I checked the last 6 hurricane FPs [2] and 4 of them have similar scan lines, but more muted and not as obvious. I hadn't noticed them on this image, they are pronounced, I changed my vote to weak support. Bammesk (talk) 02:57, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
