Table 5 Overview of entries in the “fixed wind speeds” dataset. Wind speeds are given as 10-meter 10-minute sustained average values.
From: Estimation of global tropical cyclone wind speed probabilities using the STORM dataset

Name | Unit | Notes |
Longitude (lon) | Degrees east | Ranges from 0–360°, with prime meridian at Greenwich. |
Latitude (lat) | Degrees north | |
Wind speed (u) | m/s | Given at 20, 25, 30.. 75 m/s, and at 29, 37.6, 43, 50.7, and 61.6 m/s to comply with the category thresholds on the Saffir-Simpson scale26 (see Methods) |

Name (dependency) | Unit | Notes |
Mean (lat, lon, u) | year | Mean return period of 1,000 random realizations, at each wind speed |
Standard deviation (lat, lon, u) | year | Standard deviation in return periods of 1,000 random realizations, at each wind speed |
5% confidence interval (lat, lon, rp) | year | 5% confidence interval value derived from 1,000 random realizations, at each wind speed |
