Re: Pressure drop accounting for latitude

Storms can - and often do - intensify more deeply in the higher latitudes. That doesn't mean there is a correction factor, just a different set of standards for defining, in that case, bomb cyclogenesis.

In any case however, sin and cos cannot equal anything greater than 1 (or less than -1), whether in degrees or radians, unless multiplied by something before it (i.e. 2 cos x).

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
