Wave heights in the scale are for conditions in the open ocean, not along the shore.
F1 tornadoes on the Fujita scale and T2 TORRO scale also begin roughly at the end of level 12 of the Beaufort scale, but are independent scales – although the TORRO scale wind values are based on the 3/2 power law relating wind velocity to Beaufort force. Using this formula the highest winds in hurricanes would be 23 in the scale. For example, B = 9.5 is related to 24.5 m/s which is equal to the lower limit of "10 Beaufort". Where v is the equivalent wind speed at 10 metres above the sea surface and B is Beaufort scale number. Wind speed on the 1946 Beaufort scale is based on the empirical relationship: ĭata graphic showing Beaufort wind force in scale units, knots and metres/second

Internationally, WMO Manual on Marine Meteorological Services (2012 edition) defined the Beaufort Scale only up to force 12 and there was no recommendation on the use of the extended scale. Nowadays, the extended scale is only used in Taiwan and mainland China, which are often affected by typhoons. However, forces 13 to 17 were intended to apply only to special cases, such as tropical cyclones. The Beaufort scale was extended in 1946 when forces 13 to 17 were added. Nowadays, meteorologists typically express wind speed in kilometres or miles per hour or, for maritime and aviation purposes, knots but Beaufort scale terminology is still sometimes used in weather forecasts for shipping and the severe weather warnings given to the public. The measures were slightly altered some decades later to improve its utility for meteorologists. George Simpson, CBE (later Sir George Simpson), director of the UK Meteorological Office, was responsible for this and for the addition of the land-based descriptors.
Rotations to scale numbers were standardized only in 1923. In 1916, to accommodate the growth of steam power, the descriptions were changed to how the sea, not the sails, behaved and extended to land observations. In 1853, the Beaufort scale was accepted as generally applicable at the First International Meteorological Conference in Brussels. The scale was made a standard for ship's log entries on Royal Navy vessels in the late 1830s and was adapted to non-naval use from the 1850s, with scale numbers corresponding to cup anemometer rotations. The initial scale of thirteen classes (zero to twelve) did not reference wind speed numbers but related qualitative wind conditions to effects on the sails of a frigate, then the main ship of the Royal Navy, from "just sufficient to give steerage" to "that which no canvas sails could withstand".
