The authors» model revealed the golden eagles were less abundant in developed and forested areas and more abundant in open, elevated areas with high wind speeds.

Last year, Lorenz calculated that wind speeds of less than 1 metre per second — calm by terrestrial standards — should be sufficient to produce detectable waves in an ethane lake.

In addition to becoming more prone to catastrophic failure, the turbines also become less efficient at higher speeds because they become more like a wall than a rotor, blocking the wind from flowing past the rapidly rotating blades, says Asfaw Beyene, a professor of engineering at San Diego State University in California, who was not involved with the work.

Over the course of coming decades, though, trade wind speed is expected to decrease from global warming, Thunell says, and the result will be less phytoplankton production at the surface and less oxygen utilization at depth, causing a concomitant increase in the ocean's oxygen content.

are less likely to be spent speed dating and socialising, and more likely to be spent doting on the long line of walking wounded whose weekend DIY attempts have gone spectacularly wrong.

Wind resistance will be minimized by getting up to the required speed sooner so that energy loss should be less if you accelerate quicker.

At any speed, occupants are well insulated from wind and road noise, as well as the less charismatic sounds from the engine.

The engine is quite refined at lower revs, but tyre noise and wind rustle from the large door mirrors are less impressive at high speeds.

And by the way, these tires do transmit a fair amount of road noise into the cabin — along with a less - than musical exhaust note — and relatively modest sound deadening lets wind noise be heard somewhat plainly at highway speeds too.

Wind and road noise make high - speed runs a little less enjoyable, but the Civic is by no means unpleasantly loud

When it's folded for open top motoring — which takes less than 20 seconds at speeds of up to 30mph — a wind deflector appears out of the windscreen header rail.

Now at speeds over 25 mph the AIRCAP system deploys automatically, and at speeds less than 10 mph the wind deflector in the windshield frame is automatically retracted again to present the E-Class Cabriolet in its purest and most beautiful form during slow driving and at a stop.

Having a less upright windshield also means refinement levels are surprisingly good for such a boxy car, with only the aforementioned wind whistle around the wing mirrors and the tire roar at highway speeds having a negative impact on the Subaru Forester's abilities as a highway cruiser.

You hear less of it with the top open at highway speed, if only because wind drowns it out.

The BMW M6 GT3 weighs less than 1,300 kilograms, and the transaxle drive concept, sequential six - speed racing gearbox and body aerodynamics optimised in the BMW wind tunnel also highlight the imminent arrival of a full - blooded racer from BMW Motorsport in 2016.

The visibility is also a strength point that we very much appreciate along the winding roads and that allowed me to speed up the rhythm to go off my lane and, in - city roads, it is one reason less to stress.

At high speeds, wind noise is less intrusive in the Mazda3 sedan than in the hatch, thanks to the former model's more aerodynamic shape.

This really speeds up the sailing portions and makes them less of a hassle to deal with, since you don't have to constantly change the wind direction.

From steadier, stronger wind speeds to the fact that NIMBYism is much less of a challenge, there are reasons why offshore wind has grown rapidly in recent years.

The actual thickness of the skin layer depends on the local energy flux of the molecular transports, which is usually less than 1 mm thick and can persist at wind speed up to 10 m / s.

It seems to me that deducing heat content from altimetry is less accurate than from direct measurements, as altimetry is influenced by wind speed and barometric pressure too...

In contrast Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey slightly south of New York City as an extra-tropical storm implying winds speeds less than 74 mph.

The Louisiana storm didn't meet the criteria of a tropical depression as defined by the National Hurricane Center: a tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind speed is 38 miles per hour (62 kilometers per hour) or less.

Remember the solar wind impacts the Earth with the force of one BigMac w / Fries every second, and even less during a coronal hole [the speed may be high but the density is way down, so the total mass flux is smaller].

Using instrumental data on wind speeds going back to 1900 plus wind - force and wind - induced damage reports for earlier periods, Chenoweth and Divine estimate the Lesser Antilles Accumulated Cyclone Energy (LACE) for each year along the 61.5 ° W meridian from 18 to 25 ° N latitude.

One can expect higher wind speed at altitude due to less resistance from the surface.

Wind speed is measured at the surface of the absorber — typically less than 2 mph on the surface on this night.

They are also chosen for high wind speeds in winter, when less solar power is available.

So the equation has a term for the humidity 10m (or some other reference height) above the ocean surface, and the wind speed (because that is the main mechanism for moving the less saturated air to the surface).

The speed argument is erroneous too: many timber frame companies, for example, are able to prefabricate passive house systems in a factory and put them up on site quickly, with less exposure of the building structure to the wind and rain.

Based on wind - speed measurements, researchers at MIT, led by Stephen Connors, director of the Analysis Group for Regional Electricity Alternatives, calculated that large turbines located far offshore could ultimately cost less per power generated than either land - based turbines or near - offshore ones, even factoring in extra costs, such as much longer underground electricity transmission cables.

It might well be that a probability distribution of wind speed at a relatively large scale is actually less credible than a probability distribution of temperature at some much finer scale.

as defined by the National Hurricane Center: a tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind speed is 38 miles per hour (62 kilometers per hour) or less.

Over a period of time, usually a year, the actual production is averaged out to what is called the «capacity factor», which, is necessarily much less than the the nameplate capacity, since that is attained only in wind speeds from about 30 to 55 mph.

Ocean overturning is a diurnal event, and since the average wind speed over the oceans is little more than BF4, there must be vast swathes of the oceans where the conditions for long periods are BF2 or less when there would be very little ocean / top surface mixing by wind waves or swell.

Ocean acidification and sea level rise will continue, wind speeds may decrease and tropical cyclones may become more intense but less frequent.

To start with, the fine that's listed on the citation usually is much less expensive than what you will truly wind up paying for the speeding ticket.

Although most of the tornadoes that touch down in Montana are relatively weak, having wind speeds of less than 65 miles per hour, about 15 percent are strong enough to cause expensive damages.

Although most of the tornadoes that touch down in Wyoming are relatively weak with wind speeds less than 65 miles per hour, about 20 percent are strong enough to cause extensive damage.

Early morning also tends to be when wind speeds are lower and, therefore, when water evaporation is less likely to occur.
