The main benefit of pleading no contest is that the conviction canât be used against you later in a civil (non-criminal) lawsuit that may come out of the criminal activity.
Surface atmospheric pressure in the center of a hurricane tends to be extremely low. The lowest pressure reading ever recorded for a hurricane (typhoon Tip, 1979) is 870 millibars (mb). However, most storms have an average pressure of 950 millibars. To be classified as a hurricane, sustained wind speeds must be greater than 118 kilometers per hour at the storm's center.
On weather maps, pressure is indicated by drawing isolines of pressure, called isobars, at regular 4 millibar intervals (e.g., 996 mb, 1000 mb, 1004 mb, etc.). If the isobars are closely spaced, we can expect the pressure gradient force to be great, and wind speed to be high (see Figure 7n-4).
