wind pressure
Atmospheric push strength
Wind pressure is the force exerted by moving air against a surface.
In construction and engineering, it's a critical factor in designing buildings, bridges, and other structures that must withstand storms: The skyscraper was engineered to handle extreme wind pressure.
Wind pressure increases dramatically with wind speed—doubling the speed quadruples the pressure.
