17m/s (34 knots, 8 on wind velocity scale) or more within the low-pressure area are called “ typhoons”. As a guide to indicate theapproximate power of typhoon, the “ scale” and “ strength” of typhoons are expressed based on its wind velocity (10-minute average).
“Scale” is described by the radius of its strong wind area, and “ strength” is categorized with the maximum wind velocity
