large maximum wind velocity.
When comparing a category 5 and a category 6 tropical cyclone of the same duration, given the difference in their intensity characterized
by maximum wind speed, the kinetic energy of the category 6 storm of 165 to 185 knots would be 139 % — 175 % higher than the category 5 storm of 140 knots, Lin said.

maximum wind speed it was arguably not a hurricane,» said Dan Chavas, an assistant professor of atmospheric science at Purdue University who led the study.
The Purdue team's work shows that central pressure deficit itself may achieve this goal, or at least do a better job than
maximum wind speed alone.
Researchers at FMI estimated return periods of minimum temperatures,
maximum wind speeds and rainfall.
