How many millibars are in a category one Hurricane?
A Category 1 Hurricane has 980 Millibars or greater, however, to be a C1 Hurricane, its Wind Speed has to be 75-95 MPH.
Did hurricane Irene 2011 break worlds most intense hurricane in world records?
No. Not even close. There are two main measures of hurricane intensity: wind speed and barometric pressure. Hurricane Irene is already past its peak of 120 mph winds and a pressure of 942 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm). The strongest Hurricane on record in terms of wind speed was Hurricane Camille at 190 mph. The most intense tropical cyclone (generic term for hurricane, typhoon etc.) on recordwas Typhoon Tip with a pressure of 870 millibars.
What are component of weather?
The components of weather are:Temperature (degrees celsius)sunshine (how bright it is)cloud cover (oktas)precipitation (how much rain/hail/sleet/snow... there is)wind speed (wind strenght)wind direction (place the wind is coming from)atmospheric pressure (low or high pressure) measured in millibars (mb)
How do air pressure and hurricane strength relate?
Lower pressure generally means higher wind speed. The relationship is approximately 1050-mm=Kt where mm is the pressure in millibars of mercury and Kt is the wind speed in knots. 1 knot = 1.15 mph. At extremely low pressures, the relationship can become a bit skewed due to eyewall replacement cycles but the formula is a good rule of thumb. Examples: Katrina (2005) Min pressure 902mm, max wind 150kt. Hugo (1989) min pressure 918mm, max wind 140kt.
What instrument is used to predict wind speed?
A series of barometers can be used to predict wind speed and direction. Wind will move from higher pressure areas to lower pressure areas. The higher the pressure differential the higher the wind speed will be.
What measures wind pressure?
Barometer measures atmospheric pressure Anemometer measures wind speed
Does a wind vane measure in millibars?
A wind vane measures direction of the wind. Millibars are a measure of pressure. A barometer measures in millibars.

What unit does a radiosonde measure in?
A radiosonde measures atmospheric variables such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind during weather balloon ascents. These variables are typically recorded in units of degrees Celsius for temperature, percent for humidity, millibars for pressure, and meters per second for wind speed.
An anemometer is used to measure?
An anemometer is used for measuring the speed of wind,

Is a wind vane considered as a wind speed?
No. A wind vane is an instrument that can tell wind speed but not wind direction.
What is the current wind speed on the wind speed chart in kilometers per hour?
The current wind speed on the wind speed chart is 40 kilometers per hour.
How can you calculate wind speed from zonal wind speed?
wind speed = squrt(u^2+v^2).
