IMO, from my calculations, I think 905 mb is more likely, but we'll see what the official report goes with in the end? Regardless, this wasn't a small compact storm like the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane, and I seriously doubt the maximum sustained wind speeds were as high no matter what estimates are reported. 72.8 mb over 12.5 miles...Greg Nordstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550846312350262937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-564668564625100273.post-23061342959000708242013-11-13T15:31:22.781-06:002013-11-13T15:31:22.781-06:00It appears that Haiyan's central pressure was ...It appears that Haiyan's central pressure was likely in the 885-890 mb range at time landfall occurred. A pressure reading of 889 from a handheld (Kestrel) was reported from Manicani Island south of Guiuan (within 5 miles of the center of the eye). Also the known pressure readings from Tacloban City by chasers (960 mb) suggest a central pressure between 890-900 mb based on 4 mb per mile (similar to the pressure gradient of hurricane Andrew at landfall in 1992).Perry Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056803716426794802noreply@blogger.com
