Draft:Pressure-wind relationship calculations for tropical cyclones

There are several different methods to derive pressure from wind speed and vice versa in tropical cyclones. Both information minimum pressure and wind speed have their utilities. Wind speed can describe the destructive potential of a tropical cyclone.^[1]

Method

The most reliable method of estimating pressure from wind involves using the Dvorak Technique with an infrared image, which shows how cold cloud tops are.^[2]
