How many knots is the minimum speed for a wind aloft to be termed a jet stream?
60 knots is the minimum speed for a wind aloft to be termed as a jet stream..
What instrument is used to predict wind speed?
A series of barometers can be used to predict wind speed and direction. Wind will move from higher pressure areas to lower pressure areas. The higher the pressure differential the higher the wind speed will be.
10pmh wind is how fast?
10mph wind speed is equal to 8.69 knots, or 16.1 km/h
Wind speed is often measured in?
Mph, kph, knots, or on the Beaufort Scale.
How do you read a wind barb on a hurricane map?
The main stem of a wind barb points in the direction that the wind is blowing from. The barbs show the wind speed to the nearest 5 knots. A half barb indicates 5 knots, a full barb indicates 10 knots, and a flag indicates 50 knots. To get the wind speed you add the numbers presented by the barbs. So, for example, if you have a full barb, and a half barb you ad 10+5 to get 15 knots. If you have a flag, 2 full barbs, and a half barb, you add 50+10+10+5 and get 75 knots. To convert to miles per hour multiply the wind speed in knots by 1.15. Wind speeds in mph are usually rounded to the nearest 5 mph as well. So 75 knots would be about 85 mph.These barbs can be found on many weather maps, not just hurricane maps.
What is kn in wind speed?

What is the aneometer used to measure?
Wind Speed (knots)
What does a wind barb show on a map?
It shows direction and wind speed in knots.
What instrument is used to predict wind speed?
A series of barometers can be used to predict wind speed and direction. Wind will move from higher pressure areas to lower pressure areas. The higher the pressure differential the higher the wind speed will be.
What is the Landing speed of a 747?
The landing speed is 155 knots or more generally from 150 to 160 knots, depending on weight and wind conditions.
What was the wind speed in 1903 in Kitty Hawk?

Knots use to be a measurement of what kind of speed?
I'm pretty sure knots use to be the measurement of wind speed. I'm not totally sure. Sorry.
