  2. Pressure-wind relationship calculations for tropical cyclones

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-wind_relationship...

    The interchangeability of pressure and wind allows for the two to be used to give equivalencies for the public. [7] Pressure-wind relations can be used when information is incomplete, forcing forecasters to rely on the Dvorak Technique. [6] Some storms may have particularly high or low pressures that do not match with their wind speed.

  3. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    In fluid dynamics, dynamic pressure (denoted by q or Q and sometimes called velocity pressure) is the quantity defined by: [1] = where (in SI units): q is the dynamic pressure in pascals (i.e., N/m 2, ρ (Greek letter rho) is the fluid mass density (e.g. in kg/m 3), and; u is the flow speed in m/s.

  4. Wind speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_speed

    Global distribution of wind speed at 10m above ground averaged over the years 1981–2010 from the CHELSA-BIOCLIM+ data set [1] In meteorology, wind speed, or wind flow speed, is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature. Wind speed is now commonly measured with an ...

  5. Wind profile power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_profile_power_law

    The power law is often used in wind power assessments [4] [5] where wind speeds at the height of a turbine ( 50 metres) must be estimated from near surface wind observations (~10 metres), or where wind speed data at various heights must be adjusted to a standard height [6] prior to use.

  6. Balanced flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_flow

    Balanced flow is often an accurate approximation of the actual flow, and is useful in improving the qualitative understanding and interpretation of atmospheric motion. In particular, the balanced-flow speeds can be used as estimates of the wind speed for particular arrangements of the atmospheric pressure on Earth's surface.

  7. Maximum sustained wind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_sustained_wind

    In most tropical cyclone basins, use of the satellite-based Dvorak technique is the primary method used to estimate a tropical cyclone's maximum sustained winds. [5] The extent of spiral banding and difference in temperature between the eye and eyewall is used within the technique to assign a maximum sustained wind and pressure. [6]

  8. Wind gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_gradient

    In common usage, wind gradient, more specifically wind speed gradient [1] or wind velocity gradient, [2] or alternatively shear wind, [3] is the vertical component of the gradient of the mean horizontal wind speed in the lower atmosphere. [4] It is the rate of increase of wind strength with unit increase in height above ground level.

  9. Roughness length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughness_length

    This provides a method to calculate the roughness length by measuring the friction velocity and the mean wind velocity (at known elevation) in a given, relatively flat location (under neutral conditions) using an anemometer. [4] Of note is that, in this simplified form, the log wind profile is identical in form to the dimensional law of the wall.
