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).
The tornado continued to travel to the northeast before explosively intensifying to low-end EF4 strength; a well-constructed home on E1350 Rd has swept away at an estimated wind speed of 170 mph (274 km/h), a home right across the road was leveled and ground scouring was noted in this location, the garage of the home was blown down, and three ...
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.
The wind gusts, which are forecast to exceed 50 mph over nearly two dozen states and Washington, D.C., will come as the storm begins to exit the country late this week and early this weekend ...
Post-damage survey estimated peak wind speeds of over 100 mph (160 km/h) [8] 1993 Storm of the Century: March 12–13, 1993: Florida and Cuba; associated with very significant storm surge: June 4, 1993 Derecho: June 4, 1993: Midwestern US, Mid-Atlantic US – A fast moving derecho causes significant wind speeds and damage across its path.
The brutal wind and torrential rainfall of Hurricane Milton that killed 16 people in Florida this week were worsened by human-caused climate change, a team of international scientists said on Friday.
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 speeds over 75 miles per hour are classified as “hurricane force,” capable of pushing moving vehicles off the highway, overturning mobile homes and peeling off roofs. The average wind ...
