Frank — just out of curiosity, if a hurricane’s winds are measured at say 120 mph at ground level at landfall, how high up the hurricane “wall” is that windspeed still registering at 120 mph, or does it diminish or increase in speed at increasing heights? Or does windspeed in fact vary considerably throughout the hurricane? Jim
Actually, Jim, the answer is in the last part of your question as every storm is different, hence, wind speeds can vary from top to bottom, bottom to top, and somewhere in between!, of course, recognizes the importance of knowing just how strong the wind speeds are at the ground level not just because that’s where everything is built, butwhich is also at the bottom of the storm.
Probably the more useful measurement is how winds can increase from the surface to just 30 stories up. Consider how many high rises we have built and continue to build in Houston. A prime example of higher winds the higher you go was during Hurricane Georges .
