Question

In MATLAB how do you write a program to determine what type of tropical system and/or category hurricane a system is depending on the wind speed. For example winds in a tropical system at 35 MPH means that the system is a tropical depression. If the winds are at 50 MPH, then the system is a tropical storm. If the winds are at 100 MPH, the system is a category two hurricane.

Also, write a similar program on the Fujita Scale for tornados. For example, if the winds are at 75 MPH, the tornado is on the F1 (Fujita One) scale. If the winds are at 105 MPH, the winds are on the F1 scale. If the winds are at 140 MPH, the tornado is on the F2 scale.

For the hurricane and tornado speeds take three wind speeds from each of the ranges listed (below). Enter the wind speed values into the program. Use that wind speed in an assignment statement or input command for inputs into the program. Use the disp or fprint function to show the output of what type of storm the hurricane and tornado are. For more on the assignment statement, input, disp or fprintf, go to especially Lecture Notes six and seven. Use the pseudo codes as a guide to write the program.

Hint: Look also at string variables and/or string commands.

For hurricanes

30 < wind speed < 60

74 < wind speed < 100

100 < wind speed < 150

For tornados

40 < wind speed < 112

112 < wind speed < 157

157 < wind speed < 206

Have a copy of the MATLAB code and a screen shot of the results. Put the program and results into the dropbox in Folio.

The program is where the wind speed is the input while the output is the type of storm, tropical depression, tropical depression, or category hurricane. For a tornado the outputs are the F0, F1, F2, F3, F4, or F5 scale. The MATLAB codes for each (hurricane and tornado) can be included into the same program.

Hurricane pseudo code

Enter the wind speed.

if winds are less than 39 MPH

            storm = tropical depression

elseif the winds are greater than or equal to 39 MPH and less than 74 MPH

            storm = tropical storm

elseif the wind are greater than or equal to 74 MPH and less than or equal to 95 MPH

            storm = category one hurricane

elseif the wind are greater than or equal to 95 MPH and less than or equal to 110 MPH

            storm = category two hurricane

elseif the wind are greater than or equal to 110 MPH and less than or equal to 129 MPH

            storm = category three hurricane

elseif the wind are greater than or equal to 129 MPH and less than or equal to 156 MPH

            storm = category four hurricane

else

storm = category five hurricane

Print the type of storm

Or the code could be written this way.

Enter the wind speed.

if winds < 39 MPH

            storm = tropical depression

elseif the winds > 39 MPH and < 74 MPH

            storm = tropical storm

elseif the winds ≥ 74 MPH and < 95 MPH

            storm = category one hurricane

elseif the winds ≥ 95 MPH and ≤ 110 MPH

            storm = category two hurricane

elseif the winds ≥ 110 MPH and ≤ 129 MPH

            storm = category three hurricane

elseif the winds ≥ 129 MPH and ≤ 156 MPH

            storm = category four hurricane

else

storm = category five hurricane

Print the type of storm.

Tornado pseudo code

Enter the wind speed.

if winds are between 40 and 72 MPH

            The tornado is on the F0 scale.

elseif the winds are between 73 and 112 MPH

            The tornado is on the F1 scale.

elseif the winds are between 113 and 157 MPH

            The tornado is on the F2 scale.

elseif the winds are between 158 and 206 MPH

            The tornado is on the F3 scale.

elseif the winds are between 207 and 206 MPH

            The tornado is on the F4 scale.

elseif the winds are between 261 and 318 MPH

            The tornado is on the F5 scale.

else

The wind speed is not on the scale.
