Editing Beaufort scale (section)

===Extended scale===
The Beaufort scale was extended in 1946 when forces 13 to 17 were added.<ref name="Saucier-1955" /> However, forces 13 to 17 were intended to apply only to special cases, such as [[tropical cyclone]]s. Nowadays, the extended scale is used in Taiwan,<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2024-08-14 |title=FAQ for Marine: 2.

Internationally, the [[World Meteorological Organization]] Manual on Marine Meteorological Services (2012 edition) defined the Beaufort Scale only up to force 12 and there was no recommendation on the use of the extended scale.<ref>{{Cite book |url=http://library.wmo.int/pmb_ged/wmo_558_en-v1.pdf |year=2012 |title=Manual on Marine Meteorological Services: Volume I – Global Aspect |publisher=[[World Meteorological Organization]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170505114755/https://library.wmo.int/pmb_ged/wmo_558_en-v1.pdf |archive-date=5 May 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
