Wind Chill is the scale you need.

In the late 1930s a Boy Scout was invited to travel to the Antarctic with Byrd's expedition, and this person was Paul Siple.

One of the experiments he devised was to measure the rate of cooling in various wind strengths and temperatures, of water filled bottles. From such simple beginnings, Wind Chill measurement was started.

The coriolis force is a consequence of the earth's rotation, and nothing outside of that can influence it.

Why water sinks in antyclock wise direction in northen hemispear?

It is a thing called the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect is an observed reversal in spin of "things" like water, storm systems, etc. (Toilets in the Northern Hemisphere spin in the opposite direction of those in the Southern) To better understand this effect, observe global weather patterns. High and Low pressure systems in the Northern hemisphere spin Clockwise and Counterclockwise, respectively. It is the opposite in the Southern Hemisphere, because of Earth's direction of rotation. This is the Coriolis Effect.


Why does the high pressure air from the south not blow straight to the north?

the Coriolis force, which is produced by earth's rotation.


Why do jet streams flow parallel to isobars?

Because jet streams are above the friction layer, they have a negligible effect. The wind is balanced by the Coriolis effect and the pressure gradient so that the winds flow parallel to isobars.


Which of the following influences the circulation of ocean waters?

1. Differential warming 2. Transfer of Wind Energy 3. Coriolis Effect 4. Presence of Continents


What causes winds to deviate from straight-line paths?

Winds don't blow in a straight line because of the Coriolis effect. Coriolis effect is the deflectiion of all moving particales of matter at Earth's surface to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This provides evidence for the Earth's rotation. Since the wind is not attach to the Earth, it doestn't move along with the Earth. As a result, the wind curves when it blows from a high to low pressure.
