this will be located next to the rain-free base). This is where air is rising rapidly into the thunderstorm, preventing precipitation from falling. Smaller hail can be blown away from the updraft by horizontal winds.
Our results show that similar to the case for flat gas-liquid interfaces, kL for the wind-driven wavy gas-liquid interface is generally proportional to Sc−0.5, and can be roughly estimated by the surface divergence model. This trend is endorsed by the fact that the mass transfer across ...
Wind speed changes are found to reduce upwelling on the inshore side of windfarms and increase upwelling on the offshore side. These changes, when expressed in terms of widely used metrics for upwelling volume transport and nutrient delivery, show that while the net upwelling in a wide coastal...
Manx shearwaters: Gillies et al., 2022) and could be explained by the fact that petrels may aim for roughly the same target mass before returning, but that their return mass (and mass gain) is influenced in an unpredictable manner by the success of outbound and return commutes (Brooke, ...
Further analysis of the Irwin sensor was performed by Wu and Stathopoulos [39], who analyzed the sensor by comparison with results from HFA. Their findings indicated that the sensor should be set at the same height as the measuring level of the wind speed for a reliable measurement, because ...
Predicted ground speed as a function of wind support and cross wind derived from models based on different methods (indicated by color) of determining flight direction and ground speed of 9 different bird species. Full size image Choosing different minimum speed thresholds for filtering the data pri...
the lake may potentially record higher wind speeds than the average wind speed integrated over the whole lake area (Venäläinen et al.2003; Docquier et al.2016). This intra-lake spatial variability depends on the size and shape of the lake and whether the lake is sheltered by trees,...
The first advantage of offshore wind power is that the average wind speed in the sea is generally higher and more consistent than onshore, which means that the offshore wind turbines will be able to work more efficiently than the onshore ones. Also, as there are no obstructions over the...
5). This station will be essential for future operation where the measured conditions at this station will be translated to local wind speed and local wind direction at every location in the sea lock by means of the results of the CFD simulations presented in this paper. The position of IJ...
