Forecast Aids for Predicting Tropical Cyclone Associated Gusts and Sustained Winds for Yokosuka, Japan.

摘要

Forecast aids are provided for predicting wind conditions at a station when a tropical cyclone passes within 360 n mi. The forecast aids were produced by analyzing a data set comprising the ratios of station wind values to tropical cyclone center wind values. Ratio values were then assigned to the position of the cyclone center. The 360 n mi radius circle about the station was divided into 71 equal area segments and the values of the mean and maximum ratio within each segment were subjectively analyzed to produce the forecast aids.
