Hurricone August 26-27,1949
(fromHorri», 1958)
Figure 3-33. Pressure and Wind Distribution in Model Hurricane. Plotted
dots represents observations
where Vp is the velocity of the storm center, and U5W(r) is the
convective term which is to be added vectorially to the wind velocity at
each value of r. Wilson (1955, 1961) and Bretschneider (1959, 1972) hâve
suggested other correction terms.
3.73 PREDICTION TECHNIQUE
For a slowly moving hurricane,
obtain an estimate of the deepwater
the point of maximum wind:
the following formulas can be used to
significant wave height and period at
r
0.208 a vF‘
Ho = 16.5e100 1 + -^-.
