…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 Francis Beaufort (1774-1857), a British Admiral, 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 that mentions "Beaufort, F." is listed below.

…風速はm/sといった単位で表されるが,さらに風の強さによって表1,表1(つづき)に示すような風力階級に分けることもある。これはイギリス海軍の提督ボーフォートFrancis Beaufort(1774‐1857)が考案したビューフォート風力階級を基にして1964年に世界気象機関(WMO)が採用したもので,日本では気象庁風力階級として利用されている。 ※「Beaufort,F.」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
