Functions
Cyclostrophic Approximation to Wind Speed
Cyclostrophic Approximation to Wind speed can be an approximation to the real wind in the atmosphere only near the equator.
Symbol: Uc
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Scaling Parameter
Scaling Parameter is a special kind of numerical parameter of a parametric family of probability distributions.
Symbol: A
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Parameter Controlling Peakedness
Parameter Controlling Peakedness of the wind speed distribution.
Symbol: B
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless

How to Evaluate Cyclostrophic Approximation to Wind Speed?

Cyclostrophic Approximation to Wind Speed evaluator uses Cyclostrophic Approximation to Wind Speed = (Scaling Parameter*Parameter Controlling Peakedness*(Ambient Pressure at Periphery of Storm-Central Pressure in Storm)*exp(-Scaling Parameter/Arbitrary Radius^Parameter Controlling Peakedness)/(Density of Air*Arbitrary Radius^Parameter Controlling Peakedness))^0.5 to evaluate the Cyclostrophic Approximation to Wind Speed, The Cyclostrophic Approximation to Wind Speed formula is defined as it can be an approximation to the real wind in the atmosphere only near the equator, where Coriolis acceleration is small; or in cases of very great wind speed and curvature of a path (such as a tornado or hurricane), so that centripetal acceleration is dominant one. Cyclostrophic Approximation to Wind Speed is denoted by Uc symbol.
