Dumb question: What does 'kt' represent? I see it used all over but cannot locate any clear definition.
Why not just measure windspeed in mph or kph?

knots are for the nauti nautical crowd.
The conversion I use is 1.15 kts = 1 mph

Kt is Knots as in Nautical Miles per Hour.
Take the speed in knots and add 15% and you have MPH.
