Maximum Velocity in Storm Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Velocity of Wind = (Parameter Controlling Peakedness/Density of Air*e)^0.5*(Ambient Pressure at Periphery of Storm-Central Pressure in Storm)^0.5
V_Max = (B/ρ*e)^0.5*(p_n-p_c)^0.5
This formula uses 1 Constants, 5 Variables

Constants Used

e - Napier's constant Value Taken As 2.71828182845904523536028747135266249

Variables Used

Maximum Velocity of Wind - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Maximum velocity of wind is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time.
Parameter Controlling Peakedness - Parameter Controlling Peakedness of the wind speed distribution.
Density of Air - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Air is the mass of air per unit volume; it decreases with altitude due to lower pressure.
Ambient Pressure at Periphery of Storm - (Measured in Pascal) - Ambient Pressure at Periphery of Storm is the pressure of the surrounding medium, such as a gas or liquid, in contact with the reference.
Central Pressure in Storm - (Measured in Pascal) - Central Pressure in Storm almost invariably refers to sea level pressure of systems.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Parameter Controlling Peakedness: 5 --> No Conversion Required
Density of Air: 1.293 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1.293 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Ambient Pressure at Periphery of Storm: 974.9 Millibar --> 97490 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Central Pressure in Storm: 965 Millibar --> 96500 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_Max = (B/ρ*e)^0.5*(p_n-p_c)^0.5 --> (5/1.293*e)^0.5*(97490-96500)^0.5

Evaluating ... ...

V_Max = 102.011839276475

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

102.011839276475 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

102.011839276475 ≈ 102.0118 Meter per Second <-- Maximum Velocity of Wind

What is Geostrophic wind?

The geostrophic flow is the theoretical wind that would result from an exact balance between the Coriolis force and the pressure gradient force. This condition is called geostrophic equilibrium or geostrophic balance. The geostrophic wind is directed parallel to isobars.

How to Calculate Maximum Velocity in Storm?

Maximum Velocity in Storm calculator uses Maximum Velocity of Wind = (Parameter Controlling Peakedness/Density of Air*e)^0.5*(Ambient Pressure at Periphery of Storm-Central Pressure in Storm)^0.5 to calculate the Maximum Velocity of Wind, The Maximum Velocity in Storm formula is defined as occurring when all enzymes are working at their maximum speed at high substrate concentration when a tropical storm is a tropical cyclone that has maximum sustained surface winds ranging at its highest. Maximum Velocity of Wind is denoted by V_Max symbol.
