Wind at 1000 meters with horizontal wind vectors. Key features include: well-defined wind maximum (> 40 m/s) encircling Sandy's inner core persistent throughout the simulation; development of well-defined outer radius wind maximum concurrent with cold air enrichment. Color indicates wind speed in m/s. Discussed in Mel Shapiro's presentation at the AMS 2013 Townhall "A research-community perspective of the life cycle of Hurricane Sandy"
