Short summary
Offshore wind turbines are sensitive to tropical cyclones (TCs). Wind data from super typhoons Mangkhut and Saola, impacting south China, are vital for design and operation. Despite Saola's higher intensity, it caused less damage. Both had concentric eyewall structures, but Saola completed an eyewall replacement before landfall, becoming more compact. Mangkhut decayed but affected a wider area. Their wind characteristics provide insights for turbine maintenance and operation.
