Beaufort scale
Beaufort scale Meteorol. (ˈbəʊfət) [Devised by Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort (1774–1857).] A series of numbers from 0 to 12 assigned by Captain (later Admiral Sir Francis) Beaufort to indicate the strength of the wind from a calm, force 0, to a hurricane, force 12. The Beaufort numbers and their limi...

Beaufort Scale - Education | National Geographic Society
Oct 19, 2023The Beaufort scale, officially known as the Beaufort wind force scale, is a descriptive table. It depicts the force of wind by a series of numbers, typically from 0 to 12. The Beaufort scale goes all the way to 17, but the last five numbers only apply to tropical typhoons.These numbers are only used in the areas around China and Taiwan.

Jan 23, 2024Beaufort scale, scale devised in 1805 by Commander (later Admiral and Knight Commander of the Bath) Francis Beaufort of the British navy for observing and classifying wind force at sea. Originally based on the effect of the wind on a full-rigged man-of-war, in 1838 it became mandatory for log entries in all ships in the Royal Navy.Altered to include observations of the state of the sea and ...

Beaufort Wind Scale - National Weather Service
Beaufort Wind Scale. One of the first scales to estimate wind speeds and the effects was created by Britain's Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort (1774-1857). He developed the scale in 1805 to help sailors estimate the winds via visual observations. The scale starts with 0 and goes to a force of 12.

Beaufort scale - Wikipedia
Wind speed on the Beaufort scale is based on the empirical relationship: v = 0.836 B 3/2 m/s; v = 1.625 B 3/2 knots (=) where v is the equivalent wind speed at 10 metres above the sea surface and B is Beaufort scale number. For example, B = 9.5 is related to 24.5 m/s which is equal to the lower limit of "10 Beaufort". Using this formula the ...

Understanding Winds: The Atmosphere in Motion - ThoughtCo
Beaufort Wind Scale Invented in 1805 by Sir Francis Beaufort (a Royal Navy officer and Admiral), the Beaufort scale helped sailors estimate wind speed without using instruments. They did this by taking visual observations of how the sea behaved when winds were present. These observations were then matched to the Beaufort scale chart, and the corresponding wind speed could be estimated.
