Dear Mr. Alvarez,

I would like to ask, why did the JTWC give a name "super" and category classification "5" to typhoon "Longwang", when its maximum sustained winds are 130knots and gusts up to 160knots? The category "5" classification recommends 135knots of max. sust. winds.

With reference to Link at 18.09 UTC.

Its not a "niggling" e-mail, I just want to attract attention on this problem, your forecast center has got a high level responsibility.

If this problem is not Your competence, than please forward it to the authorised person.

Thank you for all Your trouble,

Best regards,

X.Y.
Hungary
p.s.: Sorry for my broken english.

Mr. Jenei,

Thank you for your keen observation, however, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center does not utilize the Saffir-Simpson scale in classifying tropical systems. Nowhere do we refer to this storm as a Category 5 system. The use of Super Typhoon is in line with our higher-level guidance document (USCINCPAC INSTRUCTION 3140.1X) which defines Super Typhoon as follows:
Super Typhoon/Hurricane: Warm core tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind (one-minute mean) is 130 knots or greater.

I hope this clarifies any confusion.
Thanks for you time and attention.

Sincerely,

LCDR R. Mohammed
Operations Officer, JTWC

Akinek problémás az angol, dióhéjban: a JTWC nem a Saffir-S, skálát használja hanem egy sokkal pontosabb katonai skálát, a super megnevezést már 130 csomótól használják.

Amúgy maradt 4-es erõsségû Longwangocska. Ettõl még persze nagyon erõs.
Nahát-nahát! Otis nevezetû TS-ünk még a végén lehetséges hogy északabbra mozdul és San Diego- Los Angeles meghapja H1-ként? Mert én úgy látom, nem annyira délre ér partot mint az elõrék jelzik...
