Units used for drawing windbarbs

Hi,
I am using gsn_vector(wks,ugrid,vgrid,res) with
uv_res_at_vcGlyphStyle = "WindBarb" to create wind profiles over time.
ugrid and vgrid are in m/s.

Are the wind barbs drawn still following the knots conventions as to number and
type of feathers, or do I need to change the units before drawing the plot?
I am using uv_res_at_vcMonoWindBarbColor = False so the barbs are colored.
Will their color be dependent on knots or m/s?
