Beaufort Scale
Anemometer measures the speed of wind/liquid flow.It is a mechanical device with rotary propeller cups that rotate to measure the speed of wind.
The force per square foot that a 100 mile per hour wind produces is about 65 pounds. The force goes down almost exponentially from there.
It relates wind speed to conditions at sea or on land so that Naval Officers could make weather observations to a standard scale anywhere in the world
The force applied by wind can overcome the force of gravity to move objects from their existing position. Erosion has occurred. As soon as gravity predominates over the wind, the object is deposited. The erosion has been halted.
Plants hold soil together, but also by their very presence they act as a windbreak which reduces the force of the wind, which would protect some exposed rocks.
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.
Wind strength is normally measured on the empirical Beaufort wind force scale. This scale relates wind speed and the conditions observed on land and at sea, but it measures wind speed rather than force as it is understood scientifically.
A force-meter measures the force of an object pulled along a surface.
A beaufort scale measures wind speed.
is an empirical measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land. Its full name is the Beaufort Wind Force Scale.

Beaufort scale
The anemometer measures wind speed, and the wind-vane measures its direction. Those two measurements combine to indicate the wind velocity. Wind force depends on the method and device used to capture wind-power, or the shape and size of the structure against which the wind blows. For any single device or structure, the force of the wind against it is closely related to the wind's speed and direction.

This scale is called the Beaufort scale.
