Sample results of typhoon Utor.
(a) maximum grid wind distribution (unit: m/s); (b) maximum grid hourly precipitation (unit: mm/h); resolutions of both are 1 × 1 km. Wind speed modeled in this study is at 850 hpa height because wind speed at 850 hpa height is considered surface wind in meteorology and has the greatest effect on surface features, such as buildings and infrastructure. The map was generated using the free and open source software NCAR Command Language version 6.4.0 (2017) (http://dx.doi.org/10.5065/D6WD3XH5).
