How is the wind speed graded?

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 the average wind is 4-5, and the maximum instantaneous wind can reach 6.

The action of wind

active

Wind is one of the environmental factors of agricultural production. Moderate wind speed plays an important role in improving farmland environmental conditions. The increase of wind speed accelerates or strengthens the surface heat exchange, evapotranspiration of farmland and the transportation of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the air. Wind can spread plant pollen and seeds and help plants pollinate and reproduce. Wind energy is widely distributed and inexhaustible.

Monsoon prevails in China, which is beneficial to the growth of crops. The Inner Mongolia Plateau, the Northeast Plateau, the southeast coast and the inland mountainous areas are rich in wind energy resources, which can be used as energy development and utilization.

Wind will also have a negative impact on agriculture. It can spread pathogens and plant diseases. High-altitude wind is a meteorological condition for the long-distance migration of pests such as armyworm, rice planthopper, rice leaf roller and locust. Strong wind causes mechanical wear of leaves, lodging of crops, broken trees, falling flowers and fruits, which affects the yield. Strong winds can also lead to soil erosion and sand dune movement, and destroy farmland. Blindly reclaiming wasteland in arid areas, wind will lead to land desertification.
