BEAUFORT SCALE
The Beaufort Scale is a system for estimating
wind force without the use of instruments based
on the visible effects of the wind on the physical
environment. The behavior of smoke, waves, trees,
etc., is rated on a 13 point scale. The scale was devised
in 1805 by the British naval Commander Sir Francis
Beaufort (1774-1857) and is still commonly used by
mariners.
