The sea is completely covered with long white patches of foam lying along the direction of the wind. Everywhere, the edges of the wave crests are blown into froth. Visibility greatly affected.

A ship in a force 12 ("hurricane-force") storm at sea, the highest rated on the Beaufort scale. The Beaufort scale (/ ˈ b oʊ f ər t / BOH-fərt) is an empirical measure that relates wind speed to …

One of the first scales to estimate wind speeds and the effects was created by Britain's Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort (1774-1857). He developed the scale in 1805 to help sailors estimate the …

Sea heaps up and white foam from breaking waves begins to be blown in streaks along the direction of wind. Necessary to lean slightly into the wind to maintain balance. Smoke rises at …

The Beaufort scale is an empirical measure for describing wind intensity based mainly on observed sea conditions. Its full name is the Beaufort wind force scale. The scale was created …

The Beaufort Scale was originally developed in 1805 by Sir Francis Beaufort as a system for estimating wind strengths without the use of instruments. It is currently still in use for this same …

2023年9月20日 · In order to safely navigate the oceans, different measures, or scales, have been developed to describe wind and wave conditions. Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort was born …

2023年8月28日 · The Beaufort Wind Scale is a measure of wind speed and accompanying sea state. It is an internationally recognized standardized model created by Irishman Francis …

The Beaufort Scale allows you to use the appearance of the sea surface to estimate wind speed. The state of the sea, the dimensions of the waves, the presence of white caps, foam, or spray, …
