Langmuir circulation results in the occurrence of thin, visible stripes, called windrows on the surface of the ocean parallel to the direction that the wind is blowing. (en.wikipedia.org)
Temperatures in an actively managed pile must exceed 131 °F, and must continue for a length of time appropriate to the type of compost pile made (either 3 days for static aerated piles or 15 days for turned windrows). (foodsafetymagazine.com)
Open air windrow composting is generally used for garden waste materials only, and can not accept catering or animal wastes (such as food from household kitchens). (recyclenow.com)
