Time to replace the Saffir-Simpson scale? [Ep. 319]

from Carolina Weather Group · host CarolinaWeatherGroup.com

Is surface pressure a better predictor of hurricane damage than maximum sustained winds, which is the basis of the Saffir-Simpson scale? Back this week are Dr. Carl Schreck, of NC State and the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies, and Dr. Phil Klotzbach, of Colorado State University. They will explain the study they co-authored, which says minimum sea level pressure is more easily quantified than maximum sustained wind, and it shows a stronger relationship with hurricane risk for the continental United States. The study appeared in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society in 2019.
