In meteorology, wind speed, or wind flow speed, is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes...

Calculation of wind power density includes the effect of wind velocity and air density. Wind turbines are classified by the wind speed they are designed...

empirical measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land. Its full name is the Beaufort wind force scale. The scale that carries...

In common usage, wind gradient, more specifically wind speed gradient or wind velocity gradient, or alternatively shear wind, is the vertical component...

Wind shear (/ʃɪər/; also written windshear), sometimes referred to as wind gradient, is a difference in wind speed and/or direction over a relatively short...

boundary layer. The faster the wind speed, the more readily the surface cools.[citation needed] Contrary to popular belief, wind chill does not refer to how...

windsock (a wind cone or wind sleeve) is a conical textile tube that resembles a giant sock. It can be used as a basic indicator of wind speed and direction...

aspects such as velocity (wind speed), the density of the gases involved, and energy content or wind energy. In meteorology, winds are often referred to according...

direction of the wind along with its speed, for example a "northerly wind at 15 km/h" is a wind blowing from the north at a speed of 15 km/h. If wind gusts are...

hurricane wind scale is based on the highest wind speed averaged over a one-minute interval 10 m above the surface. Although the scale shows wind speeds in continuous...
