| Lookup tables wind force |
| In the lookup table for wind forces, the wind force terms, used in the logbooks, is converted/translated in modern day equivalents, e.g. Beaufort and m/s. Additionally to this table in the CLIWOC database, a multilingual dictionary is available in print and in PDF format. |

WindForce |
1 | 75 | A75 | Wind force expression, found in the CLIWOC table |
|
CLIWOC Class |
76 | 76 | A1 | Wind force according to a coarse scale (originally named
KoKo-scale) where: 1 = 0-1 Beaufort 2 = 2-4 Beaufort 3 = 5-7 Beaufort 4 = > 7 Beaufort 8 = Other 9 = Missing value |
|
Beaufort |
77 | 78 | A2 | Beaufort class, cf. WMO-1100. 0: 0-0.2 m/s 1: 0.3-1.5 m/s 2: 1.6-3.3 m/s 3: 3.4-5.4 m/s 4: 5.5-7.9 m/s 5: 8.0-10.7 m/s 6: 10.8-13.8 m/s 7: 13.9-17.1 m/s 8 17.2-20.7 m/s 9: 20.8-24.4 m/s 10: 24.5-28.4 m/s 11: 28.5-32.6 m/s |
|
mps |
79 | 91 | A13 | Wind speed, expressed in meters per second. Generally the midpoints of the Beaufort-classes were used. There where more information was available other values may have been used. |
