Bookmark or Share- Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale - Science Notes and ProjectsLearn about the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale or SSHWS and how it uses wind speed for determining the intensity of hurricanes.
- Beaufort scale - WikipediaA 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 observed conditions at sea or on land. Its full name is the Beaufort wind force scale.
- Hurricane Wind Scale: Understanding the Saffir-Simpson ScaleThe Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale categorizes hurricanes into five levels based on wind speed and potential damage. Learn about its history, application, and limitations, and discover how this scale aids in hurricane preparedness and emergency response.
- Saffir–Simpson scale - WikipediaThe Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS) classifies hurricanes—which in the Western Hemisphere are tropical cyclones that exceed the intensities of tropical depressions and tropical storms—into five categories distinguished by the intensities of their sustained winds.
- Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale - National Hurricane CenterThe Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating based only on a hurricane's maximum sustained wind speed. This scale does not take into account other potentially deadly hazards such as storm surge, rainfall flooding, and tornadoes.
