What do you mean how to compute it? Plus you state that you know the answer of the main question...

If you want to *compute* it, are you talking about modeling?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-07-04)

What is the translation speed of a tropical cyclone and how can it be calculated from model outputs? I have mean sea level pressure, u-wind and v-wind.

I understand that it is the linear speed at which tropical cyclone moves forward.
