APPENDIX F Units Unfortunately, the units used to measure wind speed, temperature, pressure <strong>and</strong> so forth are not st<strong>and</strong>ard within the United States or between the United States <strong>and</strong> the rest of the world. Even scientists switch back <strong>and</strong> forth between units. Wind speed, for example, is expressed in meters per second, kilometers per hour, statute miles per hour, <strong>and</strong> nautical miles per hour (knots). To assist the reader, we provide the conversion list below. In the text, we have sought to use English units with a metric equivalent in parentheses. While there are exceptions to this order in the text (<strong>and</strong> in the Figures), we have adopted English units as the primary set of units because most of the readers are expected to be most familiar with them. Also to st<strong>and</strong>ardize the text as much as possible, we have tried to avoid knots <strong>and</strong> use statute miles per hour (when we use "miles per hour" this means statute miles per hour). The conversions are as follows. WIND SPEED 1 nautical mile per hour (1 knot) = 1.15 statute miles per hour = 0.515 meters per second 1 statute mile per hour = 0.447 meters per second 1 meter per second = 2.233 miles per hour 1 meter = 3.281 feet 1 foot = 0.3048 meters 1.609 kilometers = 1 mile 2.54 centimeters = 1 inch DISTANCE
