1750年至1850年期间西班牙和法国船只上的风力记录已被数字化，并使用内容分析技术进行检查，以得出以当前Beaufort等级表示的等效风力，这一转换是将古代记录与现代气候学进行比较的关键一步。在分析过程中，西班牙和法国官员显然使用了大量不同的术语来描述风力。然而，当对记录进行分析和同质化时，发现了一个广泛通用的、本质上狭窄的词汇，这表明，在这一时期，已经做出了很大努力来规范海事语言。利用当代词典和航海手册，在原始的风力术语和Beaufort等级之间建立了等价性。
Records of wind strength taken onboard Spanish and French ships during the 1750–1850 period have been digitized and examined using content analysis techniques to derive the equivalent wind strength in terms of the current Beaufort scale, this conversion being a key step in any attempt to compare ancient records with modern climatologies. During the analysis it was evident that Spanish and French officers used a great number of different terms to describe the wind force. However, when the records are analyzed and homogenized, a broadly common and essentially narrow vocabulary was identified, indicating that, at this period, a great effort had been made to regulate the maritime language. Using contemporary dictionaries and navigation manuals, an equivalence was established between the original wind force terms and the Beaufort scale.
