It is found that these supposed wind-systems will differ in accordance with the degree of electric polarization of the atmosphere, and with the intensity of toroidal or solenoidal electric currents likely to be present, as a consequence of zonal winds.A simple monthly mean wind-system of ...
1. Winds, in the plural form of the noun "wind," refer to the natural movement of air in the atmosphere.2. The strong gusts have caused trees and power lines to topple over.

A systematic study of the winds in the upper atmosphere has been carried out during the 5-yr period 1953 to 1958. At heights of 85 to 100 km regular prevailing and periodic tidal wind components have been resolved. Components of the prevailing wind of about 20 m sec–1 towards east are ...
wind - air moving (sometimes with considerable force) from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure; "trees bent under the fierce winds"; "when there is no wind, row"; "the radioactivity was being swept upwards by the air current and out into the atmosphere" air current, ...
Jet stream, a region of long, narrow, high-speed winds that typically flow northeastward, eastward, and southeastward in the middle and upper troposphere or lower stratosphere. Jet streams are characterized by wind motions that generate strong vertical s
In the region between 1???0.05 hPa, an absolute value of the mean difference < 2 m s–1 is found between SMILES profiles retrieved from different spectroscopic lines and instrumental settings. Good agreement (absolute value of the mean difference of ~2 m s–1) is also found with the ...
The possibility to measure winds in the middle atmosphere with a Doppler lidar has just been demonstrated. It is aimed to study the wave-mean flow interaction, when used in association with the Rayleigh lidar providing density and temperature profiles and their fluctuations. The new Doppler lidar ...

WINDS in the upper atmosphere have been measured at Adelaide, South Australia (35°S) by radio observations of drifting meteor trails, using a combined continuous wave and pulse technique. The systematic features of the winds can be described in terms of a prevailing component and 24-, 12- an...
