Example Questions

• Q. "Huge waves. Sea is completely white with foam and spray. Air is filled with driving spray, greatly reducing visibility" best describes the sea conditions for which beaufort wind scale number?
• Q. "Small waves with breaking crests. Fairly frequent whitecaps" best describes the sea conditions for which beaufort wind scale number?
• Q. "High waves whose crests sometimes roll over. Dense foam is blown along wind direction. Large amounts of airborne spray may begin to reduce visibility" best describes the sea conditions for which beaufort wind scale number?
• Q. "Flat" best describes the sea conditions for which beaufort wind scale number?
• Q. "Long waves begin to form. White foam crests are very frequent. Some airborne spray is present" best describes the sea conditions for which beaufort wind scale number?
• Q. "Ripples without crests" best describes the sea conditions for which beaufort wind scale number?
• Q. "Small wavelets. Crests of glassy appearance, not breaking" best describes the sea conditions for which beaufort wind scale number?
• Q. "Moderately high waves with breaking crests forming spindrift. Well-marked streaks of foam are blown along wind direction. Considerable airborne spray" best describes the sea conditions for which beaufort wind scale number?
• Q. "Exceptionally high waves. Very large patches of foam, driven before the wind, cover much of the sea surface. Very large amounts of airborne spray severely reduce visibility" best describes the sea conditions for which beaufort wind scale number?
• Q. "Large wavelets. Crests begin to break; scattered whitecaps" best describes the sea conditions for which beaufort wind scale number?
