Sentences with phrase «pattern of air flow»

«The Brazuca has very deep grooves — it's much rougher than Jabulani — and this creates a different pattern of air flow around the ball,» says Professor Derek Leinweber, Professor of Physics in the University's School of Chemistry and Physics.

Not exact matches

Changes in flow patterns of warm Pacific Ocean air from the south were driving earlier spring snowmelt, while decreasing summer sea ice had the greatest influence on later onset of snowpack in the fall.

«They result in an unnatural pattern of the mid-latitude air flow, so that for extended periods the slow synoptic waves get trapped.»

The UM Rosenstiel School researchers used historical observations of cloud cover as a proxy for wind velocity in climate models to analyze the Walker circulation, the atmospheric air flow and heat distribution in the tropic Pacific region that affects patterns of tropical rainfall.

The disruption to that wind pattern can reverberate through the atmosphere, impacting the flow of air from the equator to the poles, which in turn can affect the jet stream and weather around the globe.

According to a new study, evidence of alien life in the atmospheres of potentially habitable exoplanets could be hidden from telescopic eyes by unusual air flow patterns.

The breathing pattern consists of a rhythmic increase and decrease of the breathing effort and the amount of air flow.

A sea breeze, which is caused by the temperature and pressure difference between warm areas inland and the cool air over the ocean, often develops on warm summer days as well, increasing the on - shore flow pattern and maintaining a constant flow of marine stratus clouds onto the coastal areas.

Finland is positioned so that we are most of the time influenced by the Northern Atlantic, but weather patterns where air flows from the Arctic or from Russia are also rather common.

The differing response between the hemispheres is partly due to the arrangement of continents and ocean, with the northern hemisphere's more continent - heavy distribution making for more chaotic air - flow patterns.

These ocean upwelling conditions occur beneath a complementary downwelling branch of the atmosphere's Hadley circulation — a planetary - scale flow pattern in both hemispheres that takes humid air ascending at low latitudes, heats and desiccates it in deep precipitating tropical clouds, and then sinks it at midlatitudes, where it is considerably warmer and drier than it was.

In just a few million years from now, entire continents and oceans can be destroyed or created new, changing the flow of air and ocean currents and altering global weather patterns.

Wave energy is developing rapidly, but perhaps not quite so rapidly as tidal - current systems - in part since it's harder to develop devices that can extract energy from the chaotic multi-vectored energy pattern that exists at the interface of the sea and the air, than from the smooth laminar tidal flows further down.
