===Intensity=== Subtropical cyclones can have maximum [[wind]]s extending farther from the center than in a purely tropical cyclone and have no [[weather front]]s linking directly to the center of circulation. In the [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]] Basin, the [[United States]] [[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|NOAA]] classifies subtropical cyclones similarly to tropical cyclones, based on maximum sustained surface winds. Those with winds below 18 [[Metre per second|m/s]], (65 [[Kilometres per hour|km/h]], 35 [[knot (unit)|knots]], or 39 [[Miles per hour|mph]]) are called subtropical depressions, while those at or above this [[speed]] are referred to as subtropical storms.<ref>National Hurricane Center (2009).
