 TROPICAL DEPRESSION GIL DISCUSSION NUMBER  17
 NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL   EP102007
 800 AM PDT SUN SEP 02 2007
  
 ENHANCED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS NEARLY ALL DEEP CONVECTION
 ASSOCIATED WITH GIL HAS DISSIPATED. A SMALL CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORM
 ACTIVITY IS LOCATED WELL WEST OF THE CIRCULATION CENTER. AN AMSR-E
 MICROWAVE PASS AT 02/1011Z WAS USED TO HELP LOCATE THE PARTIALLY
 EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CENTER. A QUIKSCAT PASS AT 02/0242Z PROVIDED A
 GOOD LOOK AT WINDS NEAR THE CENTER OF GIL. MAXIMUM WINDS ARE ONLY
 20 TO 25 KT IN THE NW QUADRANT...MAINLY FROM THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
 PRESSURE GRADIENT. WINDS ARE 15 KT OR LESS IN THE SE SEMICIRCLE. 
 
 MINIMAL CONVECTION AND COOLER WATERS HAVE ALLOWED GIL TO REACH THE
 POINT WHERE IT CAN NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED A TROPICAL CYCLONE.
 THEREFORE THIS IS THE FINAL ADVISORY ON THIS SYSTEM.
 
 THE REMNANT LOW OF GIL SHOULD PERSIST ANOTHER DAY OR SO...THEN
 BECOME INDISTINGUISHABLE...EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LARGE SCALE FLOW
 WEST OF TROPICAL STORM HENRIETTE.
