…Wind speed is expressed in units such as m/s, but it can also be divided into wind scales according to wind strength, as shown in Table 1. This is based on the Beaufort wind scale devised by Admiral Francis Beaufort (1774-1857) of the British Navy, and was adopted by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1964. In Japan, it is used as the Japan Meteorological Agency wind scale. *Some of the terminology used in reference to the "Japan Meteorological Agency Wind Strength Scale" is listed below.
