Not exact matches

Out of 58 hurricanes, 56 showed a significant correlation between lightning activity and wind speed, with peak winds arriving 30 hours after the lightning on average.

Also, if the big solar power plants out west and some of the geothermal, hydroelectric, biofuel, and wind plants all connect to the same HVDC lines, the ratio of average to peak power transmission can be reduced along those lines by having geothermal, biofuel, and hydroelectric plants respond to variations in wind and solar.

Most interesting is that the about monthly variations correlate with the lunar phases (peak on full moon) The Helsinki Background measurements 1935 The first background measurements in history; sampling data in vertical profile every 50 - 100m up to 1,5 km; 364 ppm underthe clouds and above Haldane measurements at the Scottish coast 370 ppmCO2 in winds from the sea; 355 ppm in air from the land Wattenberg measurements in the southern Atlantic ocean 1925-1927 310 sampling stations along the latitudes of the southern Atlantic oceans and parts of the northern; measuring all oceanographic data and CO2 in air over the sea; high ocean outgassing crossing the warm water currents north (> ~ 360 ppm) Buchs measurements in the northern Atlantic ocean 1932 - 1936 sampling CO2 over sea surface in northern Atlantic Ocean up to the polar circle (Greenland, Iceland, Spitsbergen, Barents Sea); measuring also high CO2 near Spitsbergen (Spitsbergen current, North Cape current) 364 ppm and CO2 over sea crossing the Atlantic from Kopenhagen to Newyork and back (Brements on a swedish island Lundegards CO2 sampling on swedish island (Kattegatt) in summer from 1920 - 1926; rising CO2 concentration (+7 ppm) in the 20s; ~ 328 ppm yearly average

Despite getting a little boost from some strong winds across the tropical Pacific Ocean in January, the warmer - than - average ocean temperatures that drive El Niño have likely peaked.

Average winds tend to pick up mid-day, and tend to be quite strong throughout the summertime — essential times to serve peak loads.

Indeed, in New England, while wind and solar contributed less than 5 % of generation at peak load, the region's 6,200 MW of oil capable power stations contributed around 30 % of peak load on every single day of the storm, consuming on average 160,000 barrels of oil per day (p. 10), a total of 2 million barrels over the storm (p. 4).

[Note that many statements and press releases on the subject of wind do not clarify whether they are talking about «peak», i.e., nameplate, or «average», i.e. the nameplate x capacity factor — it is essential to clarify this before putting any weight on the claim].

The highest monthly average peaks, all in winter, are likely due to storms: 12 hours of strong wind (80 km / h) mean +1 m at the coast in addition to the 1 cm / mbar effect of the depression.

Analysis of site - specific performance reveals that the average ormalised load factor of new UK onshore wind farms at age 1 (the peak year of operation) declined significantly from 2000 to 2011.

The annual average is about 0.25 of the peak — but you expect as well that the reflected SW would not vary as much as you suggest albedo of oceans being influenced by «solar zenith angle, wind speed, transmission by atmospheric cloud / aerosol, and ocean chlorophyll concentration.»

As people have discovered, but can't admit publicly, wind and solar are a «thorn in the butt of progress» and will remain so until some relatively efficient method is devised to «low pass filter» their output to slightly less than their average output, so that they can supply power 24/7, albeit at levels far below their nominal peak capacity.

We also conclude that it is likely that climate warming will cause Atlantic hurricanes in the coming century have higher rainfall rates than present - day hurricanes, and medium confidence that they will be more intense (higher peak winds and lower central pressures) on average.

For the 2020 Medium scenario the countries studied showed an average annual wind capacity factor of 23 — 25 %, rising to 30 — 40 %, when considering power production during the 100 highest peak load situations — in almost all the cases studied, it was found that wind generation produces more than average during peak load hours.
