What is a Gale?
A gale is a strong wind that measures 8-9 on the Beaufort scale.
Having a great or excessive amount of wind characterized by wind what would be a good word to describe this when thinking about weather?
VERY WINDY OR GALE FORCE WIND!
What affect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The surface wind speed has no effect on the Coriolis Force. The Coriolis Force is dependant on the rotation of Earth that has the effect on surface wind and not the other way around
What is an instrument used to determine wind speed?
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.
What effect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The effect that a reduction in surface wind speed will have on the Coriolis force is to reduce the effect of the Coriolis force. Winds blowing at higher speeds are pulled on more by the Coriolis force, which somewhat alters the direction in which they blow.
What is minimum wind speed of a gale?
32
What is a very persistent wind called?
Gale Force
What is His anger is a gale force an example of?
"His anger is a gale force" is an example of a simile, as it compares his anger to the intensity and power of a strong wind.
Breeze and gale are common terms used to describe the speed of what?
wind
What is the minimum speed for a wind to be considered a gale?
32 MPH
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 is a Gale?
A gale is a strong wind that measures 8-9 on the Beaufort scale.
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 gale force wind has (blew, blown, blewed) the roof off the garage?
blown
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.
A wind speed of 25 miles per hour?
Tropical Depressions up to 40 mph when they become Tropical Storms.
