'Calm' can describe many situations:
"The baby is calm," "The ocean is calm," "The mood inside the room is calm."
'Calm down' is the act of becoming calm, usually in regards to people (but not always).
"I see you are angry, but please calm down," "I know you are excited to be here, but you must calm down until we get outside,"
(or) "The wind finally calmed down last night," "After three days, the hurricane finally calmed down."
