Sir Francis Beaufort. The scale that carries Beaufort's name had a long and complex evolution from the previous work of others (including Daniel Defoe the century before). In the 18th century, naval officers made regular weather observations, but there was no standard scale and so they could be very subjective — one man's "stiff breeze" might be another's "soft breeze"—: Beaufort succeeded ...
Tropical cyclones are defined as being warm cored, non-frontal synoptic cyclones, that develop over tropical or subtropical waters, with organized atmospheric convection and have a definite cyclonic surface wind circulation.
Beaufort scale – Relates wind speed to observable conditions at sea and on land; Enhanced Fujita scale – For tornado intensity with damage correlated to wind speeds. The system was also intended for applicability in hurricanes, and is utilized by engineers in hurricane damage assessment. Hurricane engineering; Hypercane; Outline of tropical ...

A diagram illustrating the relationship between the Beaufort, Fujita, and Mach number scales. The original scale as derived by Fujita was a theoretical 13-level scale (F0–F12) designed to smoothly connect the Beaufort scale and the Mach number scale. F1 corresponds to the twelfth level of the Beaufort scale, and F12 corresponds to Mach number ...
Moreover, Beaufort-Skala from the same website strongly suggests that it does not. Carolina wren ( talk ) 01:48, 9 February 2014 (UTC) [ reply ] Just realized that the edit was only referencing Germany's use of the basic scale.
