Effective wind speed is the combined effect of midflame wind speed and the slope equivalent wind speed in the direction of maximum spread(head fire). Effective wind speed is used in place of midflame wind speed when winds are blowing upslope and to determine size and shape(length-to-width ratio) for those fires.  2, record 1, English, - effective%20wind%20speed

The interpretation of information mapped onto a semilog(ratio) chart is, therefore, somewhat different from the ordinary arithmetic line graph. The important difference is this : the slope of the data path on a ratio chart reveals the rate(percentage change) at which the Y variable is changing per unit of X.... the ratio chart(semilogarithmic variety) is measuring percentage change in the Y variable only. Since the X scale is arithmetic, changes in the X portion of the data path are arithmetic, not ratio(or percentage) changes. Semilog(ratio) charts are usually employed to graph data... when a Y variable changes by a large amount in a relatively short range of the X variable.  5, record 2, English, - ratio%20chart
