What does the term intensity =4 indicates?
Dvorak Scale:
Scale of eight full-number and seven x.5 categories used to estimate tropical cyclone intensity based on the analysis of cloud patterns in visible and infrared imagery from geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites. JTWC primarily uses the Dvorak technique.
