2. Maximum sustained wind - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_sustained_wind

   Wind measuring has been standardized globally to reflect the winds at 10 metres (33 ft) above mean sea level, [nb 1] and the maximum sustained wind represents the highest average wind over either a one-minute (US) or ten-minute time span (see the definition, below), anywhere within the tropical cyclone. Surface winds are highly variable due to ...

   By contrast, the U.S. National Weather Service, Central Pacific Hurricane Center and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center define sustained winds as average winds over a period of one minute, measured at the same 33 ft (10.1 m) height, [16] [17] and that is the definition used for this scale.

   What is the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale? The Saffir-Simpson scale matches wind speeds with examples of the type of damage and impacts those winds could cause in the USA.

6. Radius of maximum wind - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_of_maximum_wind

   The radius of maximum wind of a tropical cyclone lies just within the eyewall of an intense tropical cyclone, such as Hurricane Isabel from 2003. The radius of maximum wind (RMW) is the distance between the center of a cyclone and its band of strongest winds. It is a parameter in atmospheric dynamics and tropical cyclone forecasting. [1]

7. Should there be a Category 6 for extremely powerful hurricanes?

   The Saffir-Simpson scale currently goes from Category 1 to 5, with a Category 5 hurricane packing sustained winds of 157 mph or greater. The study, published on Feb. 5, explores the "growing ...
