What is Beaufort Scale?
What is Beaufort Scale?
!
Beaufort Scale is the longest and most
widely used set of criteria to describe the
wind conditions and its effects on land as
well as on sea.
!
It categorizes the wind speed into 13 force
numbers, from 0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane).
Check the 'Beaufort Scale Table' section
below for more detail on the Beaufort Scale.
Beaufort Scale Bar
!
For user's convenience, the ADC displays
Beaufort Scale for average wind speed.
!
T h e A D C e x h i b i ts B e a u f o r t S c a l e b y
displaying different number of bars on the
upper row of the display. One exhibited bar
is equivalent to one Beaufort Scale force
number. For example, if there are 5 bars on
the display, the average wind speed is
equivalent to force number 5 of Beaufort
Scale.
!
The ADC displays the Beaufort Scale force
number from 0 to 10 (if the average wind
speed is higher than force number 10, the
ADC will display 10).
