Are there any winds stronger and more violent than a super typhoon?

There are stronger and more violent winds than super typhoons - high-altitude jet streams.

Super Typhoon (SuperTY): The maximum average wind speed near the bottom center is greater than 51.0 meters/second, that is, level 16 or above. But compared with the wind speed of high-altitude jet streams, it pales into insignificance.

The high-altitude jet stream is a narrow high-speed airflow belt between more than 90 kilometers and more than 100 kilometers above the earth. The central wind speed is usually between 200 kilometers and 300 kilometers per hour. Under normal circumstances, the central wind speed of the jet stream is 50 to 80 meters/second, sometimes reaching 100 to 150 meters/second, and occasionally reaching 150 to 180 meters/second in winter.

Jet stream classification

1. Polar front jet stream - appears near the tropopause over the polar front area at about 600 hPa, and the center intensity and location vary greatly. Together with the upper-level polar frontal area, it surrounds the hemisphere in a wave-like pattern.

2. Subtropical jet stream - also known as subtropical westerly jet stream. It occurs in the transition zone between the tropical tropopause and the midlatitude tropopause, at an altitude of about 200 hPa above the subtropical front.

3. Tropical easterly jet stream - mainly refers to an easterly jet stream that appears near the tropical tropopause in Asia and Africa in the northern hemisphere summer. It extends westward from over the South China Sea, through India and over northern Africa. The jet stream axis is located on the isobaric surface of 100 to 150 hectopascals, with the strong center over the Arabian Sea. The average easterly wind speed is 35 meters/second, the wind direction is stable, and the average position is at 15° north latitude, showing a quasi-stationary state.

4. The polar night westerly jet stream in the stratosphere—referred to as the polar night jet stream. It is 50 to 60 kilometers above the polar region and can extend downward to an altitude of 20 to 30 kilometers.
