<![CDATA[Wind interpolation]]>Re: Wind speed and direction interpolation.

Hi, the symmetrical zone with low winds in the center of the low looks a little artificial. Is this due to wind interpolation at points with different directions? What method are you using? f47875dc-b074-41dd-b47f-8da1651f0117-image.png

so i would consider those deadzones of calm as actual and not just an impostrous graphic from the modelmakers

Even in a strong (tropical) cyclone, the winds in the center (eye) are light (near calm).

beware,forecast models may be lifethreatening in 0,01% due to natural serendipitousity so listen to the locals also is my life experience.
