In 2005, during the hottest
average decade on record, 8 low -
wind conditions known as «the doldrums» combined with very high ocean temperatures to cause massive coral bleaching in the Virgin Islands.9 This was followed by a particularly severe outbreak of at least five coral diseases in the Virgin Islands, resulting in a decline in coral cover of about 60 percent.9 There is some indication that higher ocean temperatures — between 86 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit (30 to 35 degrees Celsius)-- promote optimal growth of several coral pathogens.9 Other research
showed that elkhorn coral post-bleaching had larger disease lesions than unbleached specimens, suggesting that bleaching may increase the corals» susceptibility to disease.9, 10
The

shown in yellow and low potential
shown in blue.
Despite the positive bias, some days even
show an
average of 300 ppmv if the
wind speed is high enough.

The results
show that after allowing for variations in
wind speed and site characteristics the
average load factor of
wind farms declines substantially as they get older, probably due to wear and tear.
Study
shows China's severe weather patterns changing drastically since 1960 In one of the most comprehensive studies on trends in local severe weather patterns to date, an international team of researchers found that the frequency of hail storms, thunderstorms and high

Mr Joshi's post includes a graph
showing that the

He also
showed evidence that
wind velocities at Tmin correlate reasonably well with
average velocities.
While I agree with David Smith that Parker could use more time specific
wind velocity data for Tmin if it were available, he was able to
show in 25 sites that using the daily
average and time specific velocities did not change his trends for calm and windy.
Nonetheless, scatterplots
show that both before and after 1979, an NCEP» $» NCAR reanalysis daily

(i) The observation that the earlier SSTs, expressed as anomalies from recent
averages, are not only too cold relative to NMATs similarly expressed (Barnett, 1984), but also, outside the tropics,
show enhanced annual cycles, presumably because more heat is lost from uninsulated buckets in winter when stronger, colder
winds blow over relatively warm water (Wright, 1986; Bottomley et al., 1990);
The pie chart

That this is quite false is

wind energy in US, citing a 1991 paper estimating the
average energy of only 1.2 W / m ^ 2, when
wind maps
show > 400W / m ^ 2 over large regions.

wind generation produces more than
average during peak load hours.
