I've seen astrophysicists use "hyper-" to describe the winds on the big gas planets that orbit a star in four days.

Not quite sure how they can tell the lack of global temperature difference (day/night sides) at the such distances, but they attribute it to hyper-winds spreading the star's heat planet-wide.
