Answer

At a specific height $s$, the wind speed is $75\%$ of the maximum eyewall wind speed $v_0$. .

Work Step by Step

$r(s)$ represents the wind speed at height $s$. $v_0$ is the maximum wind speed, which occurs at height $s_0$. In $r(s)=0.75 v_0$, the variable $s$ is the height (or heights) at which the wind speed is $75 \%$ of the maximum wind speed.
