classify_kmph()

template<typename n_t >

int teca_saffir_simpson::classify_kmph

(

n_t

w

template<typename n_t >

int teca_saffir_simpson::classify_mps

(

n_t

w

)

given wind speed in km/hr return Saffir-Simpson category NOTE: there is some ambiguity in the above as it's defined using integers. we are not converting to integer here. get the low bound for the given class of storm

Saffir-Simpson scale prescribes the following limits: CAT wind km/h -1: 0- 63 : Tropical depression 0: 63-119 : Tropical storm 1: 119-153 km/h 2: 154-177 km/h 3: 178-208 km/h 4: 209-251 km/h 5: 252 km/h or higher
