message: The pennant system for displaying windspeed (1 short tick per 5 knots, long tick per 10 knots, and a pennant for every 50 knots, with the stem of this symbol representing the wind direction) -- do we have an article on it?  Ojw 21:29, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: What those symbols are should be explained on this page, or else they shouldn't be displayed at all.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.49.186.147 (talk) 01:54, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  This information used to be displayed here over a year ago.  It was very helpful at the time.  But overzealous wiki-nihilists have since removed the template from the page.  If you check the page history you could find the template... has also been deleted because it wasn't used on any other pages.  Well done Wikipedia editors! --61.194.119.130 (talk) 02:42, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

message: I have seen the anemometer that recorded the Mt. Washington record is it is certainly not a heated wire anemometer. This is outright false. I don't even know if they existed back then.
It was a "heated anemometer designed [specially] for Mount Washington. It was constructed in Cambridge MA, and tested in the wind tunnel at the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston."
Here's a picture of it: http://www.bmclark.org/accuwx_blog/IMG_5632.JPG
Someone fix this please.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulmarv (talk • contribs) 21:41, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the wind speed recorded from Cyclone Olivia technically be considered a tornadic wind speed? It was from mesovortex, which is responsible for the formation of tornadoes after a hurricane hits land.
And I don't quite understand how the wind speed measured from a tornado in Moore, OK doesn't count because it was 90 feet above the ground, yet the wind speed recorded on Mount Washington counts even though it was on top of a mountain. It's on top of a mountain! Last time I checked, a mountain is taller than 90 feet. 23:26, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The WMO said Cyclone Olivia was not a tornadic wind and it claims that "WMO is the United Nations' authoritative voice on weather, climate and water". On the Moore vs. Mount Washington, the former was measured by Doppler on Wheels which was not a direct method of measurement. Mount Washington was using a direct measurement.

message: In the design of structures section, I question
:"Windspeedbyzip [6] maps out the design wind speed as suggested by ASCE 7-05 for the United States."
While that may be true, isn't this just advertising for a paid service? I suggest removal of the reference.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.92.71.42 (talk) 23:14, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
