What is wind speed
Wind speed
Rate at which air moves from high- to low-pressure areas
Not to be confused with Airspeed.
In meteorology, wind speed, or windflow speed, is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature.
Wind speed is now commonly measured with an anemometer.
Wind speed affects weather forecasting, aviation and maritime operations, construction projects, growth and metabolism rates of many plant species, and has countless other implications.[2]Wind direction is usually almost parallel to isobars (and not perpendicular, as one might expect), due to Earth's rotation.
Units
[edit]The meter per second (m/s) is the SI unit for velocity and the unit recommended by the World Meteorological Organization for reporting wind speeds, and used amongst others in weather forecasts in the Nordic countries.[3] Since 2010 the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) also recommends meters per second for reporting wind speed when approaching runways, replacing their former recommendati
