Aviation weather and wind speeds
How do you calculate wind speed?
Calculate wind pressure. Wind pressure is given by the equation P = 0.00256 x V2, where V is the speed of the wind in miles per hour (mph). The unit for wind pressure is pounds per square foot (psf). For example, if the wind speed is 70 mph, the wind pressure is 0.00256 x 702 = 12.5 psf.
What is wind speed used for?
Wind speed. An anemometer is commonly used to measure wind speed. Wind speed, or wind flow velocity, is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature.
Who has the most accurate weather forecast?
“As the most accurate source of weather forecasts and warnings in the world, AccuWeather is the clear leader in keeping people safe and out of harm’s way,” said Dr. Joel N. Myers, Founder, President, and Chairman of AccuWeather. “Most important are the lives we have saved worldwide through our Superior Accuracy.
How to read aviation winds?
How do you read an aviation Wind chart? The dot end of the staff is where the wind is blowing to, while the top of the staff shows the direction from which the wind is coming. The top row of wind barbs in the figure to the right all indicate a north wind. The dot is to the south and the top of the wind barb staff is to the north.

This wind condition would be shown in an aviation routine weather report (METAR) as “XXX15G25KT,” where XXX is the wind direction, referenced to true north. ATIS and tower-reported winds are referenced to magnetic north. If the peak wind value is observed during the past two-minute period, the gust becomes part of the average wind (Figure 2,

Isotachs are lines of constant wind speed. Isotachs separate higher wind speeds from lower wind speeds. Isotachs are used to map wind speed variations over a surface. Isotachs are analyzed on the 300, 250,and 200 mb (hPa) charts. Isotachs are drawn as short, fine dashed lines.
