Wind Speed Discrepancy between JMA (Ground Truth) vs JTWC estimate

Latest comment: 1 month ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Japan Experts reported the 10-minute average winds as 112mph and the one-minute winds as 157mph, which is Saffir Simpson Category 5. Joint Typhoon Warning Center Agrees that Pressure was about 932mb at landfall, but instead claims wind speed was only 130mph 1-minute sustained, or low cat 4 saffir-simpson scale. What is the reason for this discrepancy? I just saw a Japanese Expert on a Japanese News Channel say that this was THE strongest Typhoon to Hit Japan in AT LEAST "several decades" and might even be the strongest since modern records began. The JTWC intensity estimate is not even the strongest in the past 5 years though. So who is correct?! The guys who rely too much on poor satellite based intensity estimates, or the guys who were measuring it with anemometers?!

The damage I saw in videos is consistent with either High Category 4 damage or low category 5 damage, such as defaced "Magnitude 8 Earthquake code" structures. A 130mph "low cat 4" cyclone does not do that. Wade Smith0078 (talk) 02:14, 3 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

There’s no such thing as a “sustained wind gust.” Think about it. By the very nature of the word “gust,” it’s not “sustained.”

I see that term used on Wikipedia in regard to tropical cyclones all the time: it’s nonsensical.
