p = p_c+(p_n-p_c)*exp(-A/r^B)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 6 Variables

Functions Used

exp - n an exponential function, the value of the function changes by a constant factor for every unit change in the independent variable., exp(Number)

Variables Used

Pressure at Radius - (Measured in Pascal) - Pressure at radius 'r' (arbitrary radius) defining the normalized hurricane pressure profiles In the Holland model.
Central Pressure in Storm - (Measured in Pascal) - Central Pressure in Storm almost invariably refers to sea level pressure of systems.
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.
Scaling Parameter - (Measured in Meter) - Scaling Parameter is a special kind of numerical parameter of a parametric family of probability distributions.
Arbitrary Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Arbitrary Radius of the point on the circle closest to the origin must lie on the extended line connecting the circle's center and the origin.
Parameter Controlling Peakedness - Parameter Controlling Peakedness of the wind speed distribution.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Central Pressure in Storm: 965 Millibar --> 96500 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Ambient Pressure at Periphery of Storm: 974.9 Millibar --> 97490 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Scaling Parameter: 50 Meter --> 50 Meter No Conversion Required
Arbitrary Radius: 48 Meter --> 48 Meter No Conversion Required
Parameter Controlling Peakedness: 5 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

p = p_c+(p_n-p_c)*exp(-A/r^B) --> 96500+(97490-96500)*exp(-50/48^5)

Evaluating ... ...

p = 97489.999805733

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

97489.999805733 Pascal -->974.89999805733 Millibar (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

974.89999805733 ≈ 974.9 Millibar <-- Pressure at Radius

Is a Hurricane High or Low Pressure?

Hurricanes are powerhouse weather events that suck heat from tropical waters to fuel their fury. These violent storms form over the ocean, often beginning as a tropical wave—a low pressure area that moves through the moisture-rich tropics, possibly enhancing shower and thunderstorm activity.

How to Calculate Pressure Profile in Hurricane Winds?

Pressure Profile in Hurricane Winds calculator uses Pressure at Radius = Central Pressure in Storm+(Ambient Pressure at Periphery of Storm-Central Pressure in Storm)*exp(-Scaling Parameter/Arbitrary Radius^Parameter Controlling Peakedness) to calculate the Pressure at Radius, The Pressure Profile in Hurricane Winds formula is defined as Low-pressure systems generally producing high winds, warmer air, and atmospheric lift-ideal ingredients for a tropical storm. Pressure at Radius is denoted by p symbol.

How to calculate Pressure Profile in Hurricane Winds using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Pressure Profile in Hurricane Winds, enter Central Pressure in Storm (p_c), Ambient Pressure at Periphery of Storm (p_n), Scaling Parameter (A), Arbitrary Radius (r) & Parameter Controlling Peakedness (B) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Pressure Profile in Hurricane Winds calculation can be explained with given input values -> 9.749 = 96500+(97490-96500)*exp(-50/48^5).
