Winds are movement of air from high preassure to low preassure areas. Winds can occure on a small scale or a large scale. Land and sea breezes are examples of small scale winds. Large scale winds would include Monsoon winds & Planetary winds.

What does wind have to do with pressure?

When a strong wind blows at you, you can feel the urge to lean forward to compensate the force applied by the wind on your body surface, so not to tip over. Hence, wind applies pressure, which is the force divided by the projected area of the surface. Wind pressure is related to the square of the wind speed.


What instrument is used to predict wind speed?

A series of barometers can be used to predict wind speed and direction. Wind will move from higher pressure areas to lower pressure areas. The higher the pressure differential the higher the wind speed will be.
