This flux estimate was computed by air-sea exchange equations that use measured CO concentrations and exchange coefficients that are related to wind speed . As Katrina made its third and final landfall four hours later along the Mississippi / Louisiana border , wind speeds were approximately 125 mph . A slightly surprising feature is that the geostrophic wind speeds tend to be slightly higher than the radiosonde observations , particularly during higher wind speed months when differences tend to be exaggerated . A thermomechanical model , which was developed for hoop winding and which can be used to predict the process window as a function of winding speed and heat deposition rate , will be extended to include realistic winding patterns . By analyzing the initial and final speeds of 23 coronal mass ejections , as well as their transit times to Earth , Natchimuthuk Gopalswamy of the Catholic University of America in Washington , D.C ., and NASA 's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt , Md ., and his colleagues determined the amount by which the solar wind sped up or slowed down each storm . Buoy wind speeds compared with a nearby coastal station show good agreement in the mean up to speeds of about 15 m / s , above which , buoy winds tend to be less than those of the coastal station . The Short-range GFS-Based MAV MOS Guidance is available every 3 hours for projections from 6 through 72 hours in advance for temperature , dew-point temperature , max / min temperature , wind speed and direction , cloud amount and ceiling height , visibility and obstruction to visibility , probability of thunderstorms , probability of precipitation , and precipitation type . Additionally , the variability of wind speeds across the area suggests that a more complex process , involving mountain waves , occurred during this event . Depending on total ambient temperature , relative humidity , wind speed , and water temperature , some molecules of water are almost always passing from liquid to gaseous state at the surface . The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Damage Intensity Scale , in addition to the wind speed , outlines the damage potentially possible with an associated categorized hurricane .
