Abstract
KMA (Korea Meteorological Society) and RSMC (Regional Specialized Meteorological Center) Tokyo - Typhoon Center isue 15/30 m/s radii in the TC (tropical cyclone) advisory for the information on the TC size. Meanwhile, JTWC Beaufort wind force scale, 34 kt and 64 kt correspond to the 'gale' and 'hurricane'. A ned to identify the range of the gale/hurricane wind from the TC bulletin of RSMC Tokyo or KMA that contains only 15/30 m/s radi motivates this study. An algorithm for estimating the radius of gale/huricane wind is developed by utilizing Holland's empirical formula on TC's wind-pressure relationship.
