Radius of maximum wind of maximum wind. Because the strongest winds within a tropical cyclone lie at the RMW, this is the region of a tropical cyclone which generates the dominant waves near the storm, and ultimately ocean swell away from the cyclone. Tropical cyclones mix the ocean water within a radius three times that of the RMW, which lowers sea surface temperatures due to upwelling. Much is still unknown about the radius of maximum wind in tropical cyclones, including whether or not it can be predictable. Radius of maximum wind The radius of maximum wind (RMW) is the distance between the center of
