Dear Jonathan,
We are talking about sustained winds of 1-minute duration at the surface.
Sincerely,
Gary

Dear Gary
What does "sustained" mean more precisely and at what level is the wind speed
supposed to occur?
Cheers

Subject: [CF-metadata] Proposed Standard Name:
tropical_cyclone_maximum_sustained_wind_speed
Dear CF Board,
I would like to propose a new standard name:
tropical_cyclone_maximum_sustained_wind_speed
Dimensions: m/s
Definition:
"tropical_cyclone_maximum_sustained_wind_speed" means the maximum
sustained wind speed of a tropical
cyclone derived using the Advanced Dvorak Technique based on
satellite observations, which has been empirically
related to maximum sustained 1-minute wind speed and mean sea level
atmospheric pressure.
Sincerely,
Gary
