to a slight inaccuracy in the calculations. The figure on the right loosely shows the relationship between m/s and a few Beaufort-values.
The prerequisites of the calculations above are:
The equation: W = 0.836B3/2 where W is windspeed in m/s and B is value on the Beaufort-scale.
1 m/s = 3.6 km/h = 1.944 knots (2.237 miles per hour)

determined, some inaccuracy in the area distribution of individual glaciers can be accepted
without causing a large error in the estimate of the total volume of ice stored in glaciers within
the watershed.
A procedure for estimating the total ice volume in a watershed is outlined in Figure 3. A
statistical estimate of the distribution of ice bodies of different areas within the watershed in

and with absolute certainty, an ideal that is never achieved in policy relevant sciences due to
the complexity of the problem dealt with (Krayer von Krauss 2005). In this range,
statistical uncertainty can be described in statistical terms, e.g. measurement error due to
sampling error, inaccuracy or imprecision. In contrast, scenario uncertainty cannot be
described statistically. Scenarios are common
