A 1-12 wind scale invented in 1805 by Francis Beaufort that measures wind intensity (from velocity) by numerical value. *Numerically, the Beaufort numbers indicate : 0- calm, no wind
1- light air
2- light breeze
3-gentle breeze
4-moderate wind
5-fresh wind
6-strong wind
7-near gale
8-gale
9-severe wind
10- storm
11-severe storm
12-hurricane *The equivalent wind speeds and wave heights : Force 0 Wind 0-1 kts, Calm, Wave height 0 m
Force 1 Wind 1-3 kts, Light air, Wave height 0 m
Force 2 Wind 4-6 kts, Light breeze, Wave height 0.1 m
Force 3 Wind 7-10 kts, Gentle breeze, Wave height 0.4 m
Force 4 Wind 11-16 kts, Moderate breeze, Wave height 1 m
Force 5 Wind 17-21 kts, Fresh breeze, Wave height 2 m
Force 6 Wind 22-27 kts, Strong breeze, Wave height 3 m
Force 7 Wind 28-33 kts, Near gale, Wave height 4 m
Force 8 Wind 34-40 kts, Gale, Wave height 5.5 m
Force 9 Wind 41-47 kts, Severe gale, Wave height 7 m
Force 10 Wind 48-55 kts, Storm, Wave height 9 m
Force 11 Wind 56-63 kts, Violent storm, Wave height 11 m
Force 12 Wind 64 kts+ , Hurricane, Wave height 14 m
The Beaufort Scale is used to measure wind speed/strength on a scale from 0 for calm to 12 to hurricane speed/strength winds. The speed/strength is determined by the wind's effects on certain objects such as tree/tree leaves, rising smoke, the surface of the sea, etc.
The Beaufort Scale is used to measure wind speed either on land or at sea. The scale was devised by Francis Beaufort in 1805 whilst serving in the Royal Navy. The scale ranges from zero, which is a dead calm, to 12, which is hurricane force winds.
It is a wind speed
idk no one has the answers by the time i get back on this tomorrow please have it naswerd
the Beaufort Scale indicates wind strength, on a scale of Force Zero to Force 12 (full hurricane).
Wind speed or the force of the wind.
Wind speed or the force of wind
Wind speed.
The Beaufort scale is a measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions. The intention is to be practically useful to mariners.
The Beaufort scale is a measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land. Its full name is the Beaufort Wind Force Scale, although it is a measure of wind speed and not of "force" in the scientific sense of the word.
francis beaufort is famous for the beaufort scale
Temperature is the measure of how fast particles are moving in an object.

This is the Beaufort scale.
Sailors and forecasters use the Beaufort Wind Scale as a way to rate wind speed. The scale ranges from zero for calm to 12 for a hurricane.
The Beaufort Scale is used to measure wind.
There are many ways to measure wind, but most common is Beaufort.
The Beaufort scale is a measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions. The intention is to be practically useful to mariners.
This is the Beaufort scale.
The Beaufort scale is used to indicate approximate wind speed.
Like all hurricanes, it was a 12 on the Beaufort Scale. That is as high as the scale goes.
The Beaufort scale is used to estimate the wind force.
There are several "scales" used for describing wind speed, but the most common may be the Beaufort Scale of wind speeds, in 12 steps from "Calm" to "Light Air", all the way to "hurricane". The Beaufort Scale isn't used to MEASURE wind speed, but to DESCRIBE it.
