Mean radial wind difference (sonde - Doppler) = -6.7 m/s
Mean tangential wind difference (sonde
- Doppler) = -1.5 m/s
Mean wind-speed difference (sonde -
Doppler) = -0.4 m/s
RMS radial wind difference = 13.6
m/s
RMS tangential wind difference = 7.5
m/s
RMS wind-speed difference = 6.4 m/s
Note:
Nearly all sondes available for comparison were dropped near the eyewall wind max (the
toughest location for comparison
because of high wind variability.)
