Wind chill is the perceived decrease in air temperature felt by the body on exposed sin due to the flow of cold air. Wind chill temperatures are always lower than air temperature. The human body loses heat through convection, evaporation, conduction and radiation. The rate of heat loss by a surface through convection depends on the wind speed above that surface. As a surface heats the air around it, an insulating boundary layer of warm air forms agains the surface....

WIND TRANSPORTATION Movement of particles by the wind takes place by a combination of direct wind shear stress and atmospheric turbulence. There are three modes of sediment transport by wind: creep or reptation; saltation, and suspension (Fig. 1). The mode of transport depends primarily on the ratio between particle settling velocity, and hence particle size, and wind shear stress and turbulence intensity. Very small particles (<20 microns) are transported in suspension (tens of km or...

Nichole Peterson Intro to Weather and Climate 16 April 2014 Regional Winds Pressure differences create temperature differences that drive small regional wind circulations. There are many different kind of winds because there are different temperatures. There are many types of wind including valley breeze and mountain breeze that are very common.

What is wind? Wind is basically air in motion that is produced by the uneven heating of the earth’s surface by the sun. As the earth’s surface is made of various land and water formations, it absorbs the sun’s radiation unevenly. Two factors necessary to specify wind is speed and direction. What causes the wind to blow? As the sun warms the Earth's surface, even the atmosphere warms too. Some parts of the Earth receive direct rays from the sun all year and are always warm [the equatorial...

Santa Ana Winds The “Santa Ana Winds” can only be described as a depiction of how disturbing the winds were to the society it affected. Joan Didion, the author of this story, conveys this message through the use of imagery, tone, and the selection of detail. She proposes that the winds cause people to act in ways they normally wouldn’t, that people’s feelings are affected, and it changes the overall natural environment. The Santa Ana winds are disturbing because they cause people to behave and...

• Project Title: Windmill • Project Description: Our project is a mini windmill that uses wind energy to generate electricity. This process is achieved by creating a propeller and connecting it to a motor. This motor lies on a free rotating base that rotates above a stand (truss) that supports the whole mill.

There was peculiar stillness in the air; not a leaf stirred, not whiff of wind blew. It looked like calm before the storm. Unmindful of these foreboding signs, my friend and I set out for a long walk along the beach. We had done about half an hour's walk, when we noticed far off in the sky a speck of black; cloud which became denser and denser, and soon the sky was overcast, rendering the atmosphere gloomy and dismal. Just as we decided to turn back homewards we were greeted by a cool, soft...

ODE TO THE WEST WIND Summary The autumnal west wind sweeps along the leaves and "winged seeds." The seeds will remain dormant until spring. The wind is thus a destroyer and a preserver. The west wind also sweeps along storm clouds. It is the death song of the year. With the night that closes the year will come rain, lightning, and hail; there will be storms in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. The poet pleads with the west wind to endow him with some of its power, for he feels depressed and...

Global Wind The region of Earth receiving the Sun's direct rays is the equator. Here, air is heated and rises, leaving low pressure areas behind. Moving to about thirty degrees north and south of the equator, the warm air from the equator begins to cool and sink. Between thirty degrees latitude and the equator, most of the cooling sinking air moves back to the equator. The rest of the air flows toward the poles. The air movements toward the equator are called trade winds- warm, steady...

Effects of wind-loading on bridges Wind Loading Wind is a word that used to describe the motion of the air.

Santa Ana Winds In Joan Didion’s Los Angeles Notebook, she depicts the wind’s presence as sinister, however, her description clearly shows that she believes this is an incredibly mysterious and foreboding occurrence.

She establishes this tension by using “uneasy”, “stillness” and “ominously” in...

The Summary of P.B. Shelley’s Ode to the West Wind Published in 1820, P.B. Shelley’s Ode to the West Wind, is a poem which allegorizes the role of the poet as the voice of change and revolution.

Hughes’s opening line is sculpted in such a way that it gives the reader an abundance of sensations. The poet achieves amazing efficiency in the line “far out at sea all night” in that the reader is exposed to distance, time and environment. The metaphor of the house being “out at sea” projects the image of a boat “far out” feeling totally isolated. The house faces wave upon wave of inexhaustible pounding from the wind as a boat would from an enraged sea. The time scale of “all night” could...

Colors of the Wind As a member of society I can relate to this poem in the fashion of being very non-materialistic.

Like the song says "You can own the earth and still all you'll...

Wind is caused by differences in atmospheric pressure created, in large part, by the unequal heating of the earth's surface by the sun. Air moves from a region of higher pressure to one of lower pressure and this movement is wind. Any difference in pressure will cause wind, but the greater the difference the stronger the wind. The direction that wind takes is influenced by the rotation of the earth. On a non-rotating earth wind would move in a straight path from a high- to a low-pressure area....

He shows us this by saying that the army “attacks once more in ranks on shivers ranks of grey”. Grey is the colour of the German army’s uniforms, but the grey also links to the colour of the clouds. Owen uses and effective...

Different Classifications of Tornadoes A tornado is a mobile, destructive vortex of violently rotating winds having the appearance of a funnel-shaped cloud and advancing beneath a large storm.

There are seven levels on the fujita scale, from zero to six (six being the...

Hurricane vs. Tornado Essay Hurricanes and tornados are both devastating forces of nature. Both weather phenomenon cause great amounts of damage and destruction.

Sailing on the beautiful shiny blue ocean is relaxing. The sun is shining so bright that the water requies. Sailing is one sport that can be considered a holistic endeavor of athleticism blended with the natural elements of life. One can be taken to another mental dimension if you allow your mind to escape to the beauty of the water, the warmth of the sun, and the wind. You can escape in the flow of the waves, the subtleness of the fresh air whisking across your face and listening to the wind...

Checking out the weather report is a daily activity for many of us. At the very least, we want to know how hot or cold it will get, or whether there will be rain or snow. Some of us live in places where severe weather can produce dangerous conditions -- flooding, tornados, blizzards or fogs, so we pay attention to weather related warnings. And these days, weather reports are getting more sophisticated, with pollen counts and particulates for allergy sufferers, and UV indices to tell you whether...

A LITTLE INCIDENT Lu Hsun Six years have gone by, as so many winks, since I came to the capital from the village. During all that time there have occurred many of those events known as “affairs of the state”, a great number of which I have seen or heard about. My heart does not seem to have been in the least affected by any of them, and recollection now only tends to increase my ill temper and cause me to like people less as the day wears on. But one little incident alone is deep with...

A Little Bit Of Truth essay For a week, six days in a row I went snowboarding. It was then that I thought where did the snow come from. At first I thought of “god” but of course there were no gods there are only spirits! So later on that day I thought of a weird and crazy Native American story. It had a little bit of truth with some personifications and a weird and crazy reason for why things were. So this is it. When the world was created the sheep said to their mother cow, “Why is...

In a competition between man and nature, nature more often claims victory. Pitted against tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, nothing man made is permanent. In an excerpt taken from Ann Petry's novel, The Street, the main character Lutie Johnson is antagonized by the tumultuous winds that inhabit the town, along with the frigid cold. Using such literary elements as dark imagery, descriptive selection to detail and appalling personification, Petry successfully captures Johnson's...
