Definition
风力 (fēng lì) is a compound noun meaning 'wind force' or 'wind power' — it refers specifically to the measurable strength of the wind (e.g., on the Beaufort scale) or to wind as an energy source. Unlike 风 (fēng, 'wind'), which is the general phenomenon, 风力 focuses on its force or power. It also differs from 力量 (lì liàng, 'strength, power'), which is a general term for any kind of force.
