wind-pressure

A night of calm, when sleep is well-nigh impossible in the sultry, muggy air, may be followed by a day of blazing sun and an oily swell from the south'ard, connoting great gales in that area of ocean we are sailing toward -- or all day long the Elsinore, under an overcast sky, royals and sky sails furled, may plunge and buck under wind-pressure into a short and choppy head-sea.

CHAPTER XXVII 2010

It was good again to feel the Elsinore yielding to the wind-pressure on her canvas, to feel her again slipping and sliding through the water in an easy sea.

CHAPTER L 2010

With the wind-pressure thus eased aft, the stern could more easily swing against the wind while the wind-pressure on the for'ard-sails paid the bow off.

CHAPTER XXXVIII 2010

Minimum surface pressure estimates were converted to maximum sustained surface wind using semi-empirical wind-pressure relations which, however, have evolved with time.

To test whether the wind-pressure relations given by (4) and (5) SM - should be (2) and (3) are indeed valid in the best track data, we tabulated the maximum sustained surface wind and minimum surface pressure for each storm between 1959 and 2003, covering the whole period of time that the Annual Tropical Cyclone Reports are available.

For the western North Pacific, the wind-pressure relationship used until 1973 was where in this case is given in knots and is the central surface pressure in hPa.

In 1973, JTWC adopted a revised wind-pressure relationship given by:

Our line of flight became less abrupt, but the speed increased, the wind-pressure became almost insupportable.
