| 11. | It uses the current surface air temperature and surface wind speed.
|
| 12. | Surface wind speeds were then algorithmically deduced from these wave speeds.
|
| 13. | Maximum sustained surface winds were estimated at 140 miles an hour.
|
| 14. | And brisk surface winds must be blowing into the storm.
|
| 15. | A hurricane has minimum sustained surface winds of 74 mph.
|
| 16. | The warmer water sends hotter air into the upper atmosphere, creating easterly upper-surface winds.
|
| 17. | Sea surface wind has been traditionally observed from platforms such as ships and buoys.
|
| 18. | However, hurricanes are given categories from one to five based on maximum sustained surface winds.
|
| 19. | Surface winds accelerating down valleys down the western Pacific ocean coastline, causing the winter monsoon.
|
| 20. | Surface winds in the Northern Hemisphere tend to blow to the left of winds aloft.
