Thank you very much for posting this. I always love a tool that makes our computations a little easier, a little more reliable, or a little easier to do in the middle of the night when you've been up for 18 hours tracking storms!

Thanks Canelaw99

It drives me nuts that we all are taught that Hurricanes begin at 73mph, and the category of the storm is measured in mph, but then all of the meteorological discussions and forecasts are done in knots!!

:grrr:
