of
Typhoons
We can sort out and range the typhoons with their wind speeds into five different categories.
by
1) How Strong the Wind is and
2) The Radius of the Typhoon.
-
Strong wind radius: wind radius of 15m/s or more from the center of the typhoon
-
Storm radius: wind radius of 25m/s or more from the center of the typhoon
According to these divisions, the typhoon is separated into five, referring to the ‘Intensity Class.’
