Meteorologists classify tropical cyclones using a measurement of sustained winds within the low-pressure system. How do meteorologists define a "sustained wind"?

It is a 1-minute averaged measure of the hurricane's maximum winds. Westerlies are one of the breeze belts helping to shape and guide hurricanes. A tropical cyclone is a quickly spinning storm system with a low-pressure core, a closed small-level air vortex, gusty winds, and a thunder storm spiral structure that causes torrential rain or squalls.
