    Which scale is used to measure Wind Velocity?

    Question #121865. Asked by armindasantana. (Jun 12 11 8:48 AM)


    ssabreman

    		Wind speed, or wind velocity, is a fundamental atmospheric rate.

    Wind speed is now commonly measured with an anemometer but can also be classified using the older Beaufort scale which is based on people's observation of specifically defined wind effects.
