ADT is showing a lower estimate, probably due to the very large eye. It's tough when there is conflicting data - the eye is much larger than Irma or Maria had at peak intensity. That said, there isn't much experience with large eyes and areas of cold cloud tops in the Atlantic with Recon.

AMSU estimate is also running way lower than Irma and Maria had at peak intensity. If you take the blend of data, 130kt seems to be a good fit.
The relatively loose structure with over-sized eye on microwave and visible imagery just don't scream CAT5 intensity to me.

CIMSS/NESDIS-USAF/NRL AMSU TC Intensity Estimation:
TYPHOON 25W
Friday 20oct17 Time: 1300 UTC
Latitude: 19.97 Longitude: 130.43
Storm position corresponds to AMSU-A FOV 27 [1<--->30]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| Estimated MSLP: 934 hPa
| Estimated Maximum Sustained Wind: 107 kts
| Estimate Confidence: Fair ( +/- 15mb +/- 20kts )

Channel 8 (~150 hPa) Tb Anomaly: 5.02
Channel 7 (~250 hPa) Tb Anomaly: 4.89
RMW: 49 km
RMW Source is: IR
Environmental Pressure: 1005
Satellite: NOAA-90
ATCF data for Month: 10 Day: 20 Time (UTC): 1200


The AMSU estimate you used is from 12 hours ago. There’s usually a new set of AMSU estimate at around 00Z.

SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR SUPER TYPHOON 25W (LAN) WARNING NR 23//
RMKS/
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
SUPER TYPHOON (STY) 25W (LAN), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 358 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHEAST OF KADENA AB, HAS TRACKED NORTHEASTWARD AT 08 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS
A SYMMETRIC EYEWALL SURROUNDING A 50NM ROUND EYE. STY 25W HAS
RAPIDLY INTENSIFIED (RI) OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS FROM 85 KNOTS TO
135 KNOTS (50 KNOTS). UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES EXCELLENT
OUTFLOW, PARTICULARLY POLEWARD, WHICH IS TAPPING INTO THE
MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES OVER JAPAN. A 202147Z WINDSAT 37GHZ IMAGE
SHOWS SPIRAL BANDING WRAPPING INTO THE SYSTEM WITH A WELL-DEFINED
MICROWAVE EYE FEATURE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS ASSESSED AT 135
KNOTS BASED ON DVORAK CURRENT INTENSITY ESTIMATES RANGING FROM T6.5
(127 KNOTS) TO T7.0 (140 KNOTS). STY 25W IS TRACKING POLEWARD ALONG
THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE DEEP LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. NO CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY SINCE THE PREVIOUS
PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE.
B. ANIMATED SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES SOME EYE WOBBLE, HOWEVER,
STY 25W IS TRACKING GENERALLY POLEWARD TOWARD CENTRAL JAPAN. STY LAN
SHOULD REMAIN AT STY STRENGTH THROUGH THE NEXT 12 HOURS THEN WEAKEN
AS IT APPROACHES JAPAN AND BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH THE BAROCLINIC
ZONE BY TAU 24. AFTER TAU 24, STY 25W WILL ENCOUNTER STRONG VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR, BEGIN TO INTERACT WITH LAND AND WILL WEAKEN
SIGNIFICANTLY. THE SYSTEM WILL COMPLETE EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION BY
TAU 48 AS IT GAINS FRONTAL CHARACTERISTICS AND BEGINS TO ACCELERATE
NORTHEASTWARD. STY 25W IS FORECAST TO MAINTAIN EXTENSIVE GALE-FORCE
WINDS DUE TO THE VERY LARGE SIZE OF THE SYSTEM, AND PROXIMITY OF
COLD-SURGE WINDS AND GRADIENT WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONTAL ZONE
CURRENTLY SITUATED OVER JAPAN. DYNAMIC MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN
TIGHT AGREEMENT, THEREFORE, THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE JTWC
FORECAST TRACK.//

JMA conducted another recon mission on Lan today and recon data supports its intensity estimate very well. Central pressure is around 925 hPa and the maximum surface winds recorded by dropsonde are near 70 m/s (probably representative of gust instead of sustained winds).

Deep convection cooling around the eye. I don't get how Lan wasn't at least upgraded to a Cat 5 with dvorak supporting it at 7.0. Maybe a postseason upgrade? Hope so. I do think it is stronger than that though. Who knows, it's still probrably a Cat 5. Don't let dvorak fool you just because they went down. We've seen this with the Atlantic this year.

With such a large circulation and a central pressure of around 925 hPa reported by recon, I don’t think Lan is a category 5 typhoon. These kind of systems usually have very low central pressure but not high sustained winds.

a large eye will tend to have a HIGHER wind speed for one reason. The pressure gradient between the eye and the environment is actually tighter since there is slightly less distance between the edge of the eye and the synoptic environment.

However, I'd say 130 kts is a good estimate for Lan
