I just read that Recon has now found flight level winds of 110. Which should equate to a cat 3 if I am not mistaken, right?
Note: This is unconfirmed as of this time.
Depends...if that is a flight level none-extrapolated wind field, then you have to take note of the altitude and then fix it to the surface using standard conversion ratios for that altitude...example, 950mb I believe is 90%...So, 110kts =~ 99kts at the surface... I rarely do this conversion so check these number on the web or through other astute users. If that is already the surface estimate though, that's it: it's 110kts... and if that is the case, you'd have somewhere's around the mid 120's mph in common terms. But, I think that was a flight level estimate you've got there??
