  vMaxModel,
  cPs,
  eP,
  vFms = NULL,
  TClats = NULL,
  dPdt = NULL,
  beta = 1.3,
  rho = 1.15
)

Value

maximum wind speed m/s.

Arguments

vMaxModel

0=Arthur (1980),1=Holland (2008),2=Willoughby & Rahn (2004).3=Vickery & Wadhera (2008),4=Atkinson and Holliday (1977)

cPs

Tropical cyclone central pressure (hPa)

eP

Background environmental pressure (hPa)

vFms

Forward speed of the storm m/s

TClats

Tropical cyclone central latitude

dPdt

rate of change in central pressure over time, hPa per hour from Holland 2008

beta

exponential term for Holland vortex

rho

density of air

Examples
