Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000309

A system for estimating wind speed based on observed sea conditions or land effects, rather than direct measurement. It ranges from 0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane force), with each number corresponding to a descriptive term and a range of wind speeds. This scale is often used in marine operations and weather reporting.
