A wind forecast comes from the analysis of three things: gradient of air pressure, the Coriolis effect and friction. The Coriolis effect is a result of Earth's rotation that tends to deflect wind to ...

Long term trends of precipitation and wind speed were evaluated along elevation gradients to assess the dominant effects on snow water equivalence (SWE) using current and historical records of ...

The accurate characterization of near-surface winds is critical to understanding past and modern climate. Dust lifted by these winds has the potential to modify surface and atmospheric conditions, ...

I HAVE often felt surprised that the superiority in force of northerly and easterly as compared with southerly and westerly winds accompanying any given amount of barometric gradient has, at least ...
