text: Meteorological data includes windspeeds which may be expressed as statute miles per hour, knots, or meters per second. Here are the conversion factors for those various expressions of windspeed:
  1 m/s = 2.237 statute mile/h = 1.944 knots<br>
  1 knot = 1.151 statute mile/h = 0.514 m/s<br>
  1 statute mile/h = 0.869 knots = 0.447 m/s
  Note:
  * 1 statute mile = 5,280 feet = 1,609 meters
