WINDFORCE

The original Beaufort Scale (1832) is a wind force scale of vivid description based on careful observation and designed for the clear and precise communication of information. The increasing force of the wind determines the amount of sail a fully rigged man-of-war can carry and proceed at speed to perform her mission without coming to grief. It is a scale of decreasing white as sails are reduced.
