Knaff and Zehr (2007) came up with the following formula to relate wind and pressure, taking into account movement, size, and latitude: [7] = + ′ Where V srm is the max wind speed corrected for storm speed, phi is the latitude, and S is the size parameter. [7]
u 2 = Wind speed at 2m height (m/s) δe = vapor pressure deficit (kPa) γ = Psychrometric constant (γ ≈ 66 Pa K −1) N.B.: The coefficients 0.408 and 900 are not unitless but account for the conversion from energy values to equivalent water depths: radiation [mm day −1] = 0.408 radiation [MJ m −2 day −1].
The Penman equation describes evaporation (E) from an open water surface, and was developed by Howard Penman in 1948. Penman's equation requires daily mean temperature, wind speed, air pressure, and solar radiation to predict E. Simpler Hydrometeorological equations continue to be used where obtaining such data is impractical, to give comparable results within specific contexts, e.g. humid vs ...
Meteorological data includes wind speeds which may be expressed as statute miles per hour, knots, or meters per second. Here are the conversion factors for those various expressions of wind speed: 1 m/s = 2.237 statute mile/h = 1.944 knots 1 knot = 1.151 statute mile/h = 0.514 m/s 1 statute mile/h = 0.869 knots = 0.447 m/s. Note:
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 highest winds in hurricanes would be 23 in the scale.
When estimating wind loads on structures the terrains may be described as suburban or dense urban, for which the ranges are typically 0.1-0.5 m and 1-5 m respectively. [2] In order to estimate the mean wind speed at one height based on that at another (), the formula would be rearranged, [2]

is the flow speed at the point at which pressure coefficient is being evaluated M {\displaystyle M} is the Mach number , which is taken in the limit of zero p 0 {\displaystyle p_{0}} is the flow's stagnation pressure
