What scale can be used to measure the strength of wind?
There are several "scales" used for describing wind speed, but the most common may be the Beaufort Scale of wind speeds, in 12 steps from "Calm" to "Light Air", all the way to "hurricane". The Beaufort Scale isn't used to MEASURE wind speed, but to DESCRIBE it.
What is used to express wind speed?
You can express or determine the speed of wind using the Beaufort Wind Scale.
What scale relates to wind speed during a hurricane?
The Saffir-Simpson scale.
Which scale is used to measue wind speed up to 73 mph?
The Beaufort scale.
How is a beaufort scale used?
The Beaufort scale is used to indicate approximate wind speed.
Who invented a scale to describe wind speed?
Sir Frances Beaufort
What is meant by wind speed scale?
A wind speed scale is a scale that rates a storm or other weather event based on wind speed. Examples include the Beaufort scale and the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. The Fujita scale is sometimes called a wind speed scale, but it is really a damage scale.

What does the Beaufort scale rank?
The Beaufort scale is a measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land. Its full name is the Beaufort Wind Force Scale, although it is a measure of wind speed and not of "force" in the scientific sense of the word.

This is the Beaufort scale.
What is a scale used to measure wind speed called?
The Beaufort Scale.
What is a Beaufort scale and how is it used?
Sailors and forecasters use the Beaufort Wind Scale as a way to rate wind speed. The scale ranges from zero for calm to 12 for a hurricane.
