Winds are labeled according to?

Their speed and direction, e.g. south-east force 8. The direction tells you which compass direction the wind is coming from, the force tells you the speed, e.g.force-8 is a gale. The direction from whicih they blow


What information does the wind speed force chart provide?

The wind speed force chart provides information on the relationship between wind speed and the force of the wind, helping to understand how strong the wind is at different speeds.


Beaufort scale is used to measure what?

A 1-12 wind scale invented in 1805 by Francis Beaufort that measures wind intensity (from velocity) by numerical value. *Numerically, the Beaufort numbers indicate : 0- calm, no wind 1- light air 2- light breeze 3-gentle breeze 4-moderate wind 5-fresh wind 6-strong wind 7-near gale 8-gale 9-severe wind 10- storm 11-severe storm 12-hurricane *The equivalent wind speeds and wave heights : Force 0 Wind 0-1 kts, Calm, Wave height 0 m Force 1 Wind 1-3 kts, Light air, Wave height 0 m Force 2 Wind 4-6 kts, Light breeze, Wave height 0.1 m Force 3 Wind 7-10 kts, Gentle breeze, Wave height 0.4 m Force 4 Wind 11-16 kts, Moderate breeze, Wave height 1 m Force 5 Wind 17-21 kts, Fresh breeze, Wave height 2 m Force 6 Wind 22-27 kts, Strong breeze, Wave height 3 m Force 7 Wind 28-33 kts, Near gale, Wave height 4 m Force 8 Wind 34-40 kts, Gale, Wave height 5.5 m Force 9 Wind 41-47 kts, Severe gale, Wave height 7 m Force 10 Wind 48-55 kts, Storm, Wave height 9 m Force 11 Wind 56-63 kts, Violent storm, Wave height 11 m Force 12 Wind 64 kts+ , Hurricane, Wave height 14 m

The phrase His anger is a gale force is an example of what?

The phrase "His anger is a gale force" is an example of a metaphor, comparing the intensity or strength of his anger to that of a powerful gale force wind. Metaphors create vivid imagery by equating two different things that share a common characteristic.


What affect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?

A reduction in surface wind speed will have a minor effect on the Coriolis force. The Coriolis force is primarily influenced by the Earth's rotation and the object's velocity, not the speed of the wind. Therefore, a decrease in wind speed will not significantly alter the Coriolis force.

Why do you need anemometers?

Anemometers are used to measure wind speed.


Is gale a dust storm?

In meteorology a gale is a wind with a force of 7 to 10 on the Beaufort scale (28-55 knots or 53-105km-hr). A dust storm is a wind with dust, there is no specific wind velocity noted for dust storms.


Which verb form is correct The gale force wind has blew blown blewed the roof off the garage?

"blown" is correct to use with the auxiliary verb "has". A past participle is needed to create the perfect verb tenses. "The gale force wind has blown the roof off the garage." (present perfect)
