Validation is very variable between storms. Agreement between ERA5 and IBTRACS is often poor. Key Point (f) ▼ Peak gust speeds are typically 50 - 150 knots (25 - 80 m/s) faster than ERA5 & minimum MSLP is typically 20 - 50 hPa deeper than ERA5 in the 4.4km model. In general, most peak wind/gusts and minimum MSLP lags ERA5 & IBTRACS by 4-12 hours. The speed of travel of tropical cyclones over the ocean appears slower in the 4.4km model. Longer ocean transition time appears to result in more delayed landfall. Key Point (g) ▼ Unfortunately there are no reliable source of observational data in this region to verify these results against. Validation of storm tracks is in progress. www.metoffice.gov.uk 8 盒 CC BY
