These products are intended for and should only be used by weather forecasters or meteorologists. The products show the influence of terrain on amplifying the winds. The amplified winds or wind speed-up factors are expressed as percents. To determine the actual winds or potential wind damage from a tropical cyclone would require linking the wind speed-up information to a windfield model.
