wind speeds

Pryor and her colleagues found that in most of the U. S. wind speeds appear to be waning, in many locations by more than 1 percent a year.

The trend could simply be part of a natural and long-term cycle that pushes wind speeds both up and down over the course of many decades.

The objective of this study was to identify a conceptual configuration that could become operational at low and medium wind speeds.

The United States now uses the EF (Enhanced Fujita) scale, which takes more variables into account when assigning wind speeds to a tornado.

Wind speeds in a category two hurricane can reach close to one hundred eighty kilometers an hour.

The scientists used data from satellites, balloons, and aircrafts, to estimate wind speeds around the planet.

This suction effect increases wind speeds by up to 30 percent at each of the 95-foot-long rotors to boost electricity production.

In areas with higher wind speeds, wind energy can be a highly cost-effective alternative to fossil fuel generation.

The islands reputedly experience the highest and most consistent wind speeds of any comparable place on earth.

Satellite pictures could also help site offshore wind farms -- wind speeds can be inferred from wave heights and direction.

Wind energy requires a certain amount of sustained wind speeds to be effective.

The high energy of these storms is associated withheavy precipitation, lightning, high wind speeds and tornadoes.

This summer scientists published the first study that comprehensively explored the effect of climate change on wind speeds in the U. S.

The velocity products of Doppler radar can also be used as an important reference for forecasting extreme wind speeds in typhoons.

However, in high wind speeds, complex speed limiting mechanisms must be employed to prevent the turbine self destructing.

Can Satellite Sampling of Offshore Wind Speeds Realistically Represent Wind Speed Distributions?

Because direct measurements of wind speeds are so unruly, Pryor's team also tracked indirect measurements.

Flutter critical wind speeds under different wind attack angles and yawned angles were obtained in wind tunnel test.

SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: Wind speeds in the most severe ocean storms can reach more than two hundred fifty kilometers an hour.

The droplet deposition and deposition rate were studied under different spray heights and wind speeds.

Sunshine, temperature, wind speeds and rainfall all affect the growth and cropping of apple trees.

Structural design: computation of turbulence and extreme wind speeds?

Average wind speeds can be 20 percent higher than on land, and the resulting energy yield from wind farms as much as 70 percent higher.

The experts there name storms when they reach wind speeds of sixty-two kilometers an hour.

Efficiency drops off considerably in the higher wind speeds.

Thus the flutter critical wind speeds are much lower and the bridge is more unstable during this period.

Navigating the myriad providers of ocean temperatures, wind speeds, rates of deforestation and so on is well nigh impossible.

Eventually new wind tunnels were built that could test supersonic aircraft, providing wind speeds well over 1, 500 mph.

The study limits potential wind farm locations to rural, nonforested sites (both on land and offshore) with high wind speeds.

The high speed airfoil type wind turbine has the highest efficiency in high wind speeds.

For example, many wind-pollinated species fail to release pollen when wind speeds are low or when humid conditions prevail.

A boat's overall sail area is planned based on typical wind speeds in the range of 10-15 knots.
