What is the symbol of the wind?

Wind direction symbols are generally represented by wind columns with tail feathers, in which the tail feathers of wind symbols above grade 8 are pennants.

Symbol: It consists of wind stems and wind feathers.

Wind handle: indicates the direction of the wind, with 8 directions.

Wind feather: 3 or 4 short strokes and triangles indicate strong wind, perpendicular to the right side of the wind pole (northern hemisphere).

1- secondary: 1 vertical line 1 horizontal line

Grade 3-4: 1 vertical line and 2 horizontal lines

Layer 5-6: 1 vertical line 3 horizontal line

Grade 7-8: 1 vertical bar 4 horizontal bar.

Above level 8: 1 vertical bar 1 triangle is like a small flag.

Extended data:

Due to the difference of wind speed, wind direction and humidity, many types of wind will be produced. Blast, gale, gale, gale, storm and hurricane, these common wind types, Beaufort wind force are seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven and twelve respectively.

Gust: When the air speed is high and low, the wind will be high and low, and there will be waves of feeling when blowing on people. This is a recognized gust of life. Meteorology, wind speed usually refers to the average situation within 2 minutes, with high or low wind speed, and gust usually refers to the maximum instantaneous wind speed during this period. If the weather forecast, today's wind is 4-5, and the gust is 6, which means that today's average wind is 4-5, and the maximum instantaneous wind can reach 6.

Cyclone: It is a cyclone when the air flies in the air with dust to form a vortex.

Foehn: When the air crosses the ridge, it is easy to produce warm (or hot) dry wind on the leeward slope due to the sinking of the air, which is called Foehn.

Typhoon is an atmospheric vortex that occurs in the tropical ocean, so it is also called tropical cyclone. When the maximum wind force in the vortex center reaches more than 8, it is called typhoon; The maximum wind force in the center is 6-7, which is called weak typhoon; When the maximum wind force in the center reaches 8 to 12, it is called a strong typhoon.

Tornado: A small destructive vortex of air extending from cumulonimbus clouds to the ground. What happens on land is called tornado, and what happens on the ocean is called tornado, also called waterspout. Tornado is a violent storm with strong rotating force, and the maximum wind speed can reach more than 100 meters per second.
