One of the few things I remember from my 20-year-old meteorology degree is that 1 meter/second is very close to 2 knots. This conversion was also useful when I was in the Navy, especially for coming alongside piers or other ships.
- eCa 10y agoUnderstanding the conversion is helped by using the same time unit: 1 knot (per hour): 1852 meters/hour 1 meter per second: 3600 meters/hour So 2 knots is 3704 meters/h, or less than 3% more than 1 meter/s. Good rule of thumb.
