Thanks!

Yes, by satellite estimates we concluded 165mph and using the CKZ equation to derive the estimated central pressure of 913mb.
For the February cyclones summary, as we are all hands on deck in the US severe weather recently, your request article likely won’t be published shortly. If we have extra hands available we might consider making one, perhaps along with March.

Hello Jennifer.
To analyze a storm, in short, we mainly refer to the following techniques:
Infrared: Subjective Dvorak (1984), CIMSS ADT.
Microwave: AMSU, SATCON (which mixes the IR and MW estimates).
If available, surface observations, doppler radial wind, and/or polar satellites wind scans such as SAR, SMAP.
