The Beaufort scale t is an empirical 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. == History == The scale was devised in 1805 by Francis Beaufort (later Rear Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort), an...

The scale describing wind force devised by Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort in 1808, in which winds are graded by the effect of their force (originally, the amount of sail that a fully rigged frigate could carry). Scale now reads up to Force 17.

The relationship between sea state and wind speed. The Beaufort Scale can be used to estimate wind speed at sea, but is valid only for waves generated within the local weather system, and assumes that there has been sufficient time for a fully developed sea to have become established.

This is a scale to help sailors work out how strong the wind is by looking at the surface of the sea. It was developed in 1805 by Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort. There is now also a version for use on land. It goes from Force 0 to Force 12. Force 8 is a gale.

System of recording wind velocity, devised by Francis Beaufort in 1806. It is a numerical scale ranging from 0 to 17, calm being indicated by 0 and a hurricane by 12; 13–17 indicate degrees of hurricane force. In 1874 the scale received international recognition; it was modified in 1926. Measurements are made at 10 m/33 ft above gr...
