Question

In MatLab, use the max function to determine which year had the highest

Then display the information in a table, with a title row.

The American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) measures the intensity of a hurricane season with the accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index. The ACE for a season is the sum of the ACE for each tropical storm with winds exceeding 35 knots (65 km/h). The maximum sustained winds (measured in knots) in the storm are measured or approximated every six hours. The values are squared and summed over the duration of the storm. The total is divided by 10,000, to make the parameter easier to use. max ACF 10 This parameter is related to the energy of the storm, since kinetic energy is proportional to velocity squared. However, it does not take into account the size of the storm, which would be necessary for a true total energy estimate. Reliable

Explanation / Answer

MATLAB Code for, using the max function to determine following:

Code:

[max_ace index_ace]=max(ace);
year_ace=year(index_ace);
[max_trop index_trop]=max(tropical);
year_trop=year(index_trop);
[max_hurr index_hurr]=max(hurricane);
year_hurr=year(index_hurr);
[max_majhurr index_majhurr]=max(major);
year_majhurr=year(index_majhurr);
display(year_ace);
display(year_trop);
display(year_hurr);
display(year_majhurr);

Results(Displayed in a table):
Years which had the highest

ACE value 2005 Numer of tropical storms 2005 Number of hurricanes 2005 Number of major hurricanes 1950
