The Beaufort Scale is a system for estimating wind force without the use of instruments based on the visible effects wind has on the physical environment. The behavior of smoke, waves, trees, etc., is rated on a 13 point scale. The scale was devised in 1805 by the British naval Commander Sir Francis Beaufort (1774-1875) and is still commonly used by mariners.
