From: Estimation of global tropical cyclone wind speed probabilities using the STORM dataset
Return periods of maximum wind speed (10-minute 10-meter average) within a radius of 100 km for a selection of coastal cities. Color tones correspond to the different basins: North Atlantic (blue), Eastern Pacific (red), Western Pacific (pink), North Indian (green), South Indian (purple), and South Pacific (yellow). Graphs show the return period on the x-axis versus the corresponding maximum wind speed (in m/s) on the y-axis. Category-classifications are based on the Saffir-Simpson scale (converted from 1-min to 10-min thresholds, see Methods).
