An anemometer is commonly used to measure wind speed. Global distribution of wind speed at 10m above ground averaged over the years 1981–2010 from the CHELSA-BIOCLIM+ data set [1] In meteorology, wind speed, or wind flow speed, is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in ...
Wind speed on the Beaufort scale is based on the empirical relationship: [6] 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.
Wind speeds over 99 knots are extracted by subtracting 50 from the direction and adding 100 to the speed. Thus, for example, the wind forecast for Abilene (ABI) at 30,000 feet, shown above as 7603, indicates a forecast wind of 260 degrees at 103 knots (76-50=26 or 260, and speed became 100+03=103).
Wind is also a huge factor in the cold. Wind speeds of 15 to 25 mph, along with the already very cold temperatures, will lead to wind chills of minus 25 to 50 below zero at times from Sunday to ...
Here’s everything you need to know about today’s storm, including rainfall amounts, wind speeds and power outages. Utility poles and trees were down on Stetson and Pearl streets in Bridgewater ...
Some areas could see higher wind speeds. A winter storm warning is in effect along the Lake Michigan shoreline, with up to 10 inches of snow and winds of 50 mph possible, the weather service said.
A wind gust or just gust is a brief, sudden increase in the wind speed. It usually lasts for less than 20 seconds, briefer than a squall, which lasts minutes. A gust is followed by a lull (or slackening) in the wind speed. [1] Generally, winds are least gusty over large water surfaces and most gusty over rough land and near high buildings. [2]
Wind speeds over 75 miles per ... The average wind speed during Tuesday afternoon's storm was 60-70 mph, powerful enough to uproot trees and cause the widespread damage seen in Bloomington today.
