"I hear the wind among the trees playing the celestial symphonies; I see the branches downward bent, like keys of some great instrument": Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, A Day of Sunshine (stanza 3). "A little wind kindles; much puts out the fire."- George Herbert, Jacula Prudentum"The wind moans, like a long wail from some despairing soul shut out in the awful storm!" William Hamilton Gibson, Pastoral DaysWinter Measuring, reporting and communicating wind speed is one of the complicated tasks of a meteorologist. The phrase "40 kph" seems to mean different things to different people. The MetService wind speed poster is attracting plenty of interest as it includes ten different wind scales including the cyclone category scale and the Fujita tornado scale giving the varying levelsof damage for comparison purposes. This poster is available from the MetService web site at www.metservice.com (click on LEARNING CENTRE then select from POSTER DOWNLOADS) and this article covers wind speed.
