Appendix B: Wind Speed Conversions and Presentation of Wind Speed Data

Wind speed conversions

1 knot = 1.000 knot = 0.514 m/s = 1.853 km/hr = 1.151 mph

1 m/s = 1.944 knot = 1.000 m/s = 3.600 km/hr = 2.236 mph

1 km/hr = 0.540 knot = 0.278 m/s = 1.000 km/hr = 0.621 mph

1 mph = 0.869 knot = 0.447 m/s = 1.610 km/hr = 1.000 mph
