Sentences with phrase «speeds at different altitudes»

The new study suggests a link between global warming and increasing vertical wind shear, a measure of the difference in wind speeds at different altitudes.

Planes were flown directly into the Greenland jet, collecting real - time information on its structure, the wind speeds at different altitudes, and the interactions between the jet and sea surface.

We know that there need to be certain conditions of temperature, relative humidity, and wind speeds at different altitudes.

For example, when there are large changes in wind speed at different altitudes (also known as «vertical wind shear») above an area of the ocean, those conditions can interfere with hurricane formation.

Not exact matches

McNoldy said the conditions are ripe because we're precisely in the middle of hurricane season and there's little wind shear, a condition in which layers of air at different altitudes move at different speeds and which tends to break up hurricanes.

Wind shear is the difference between the wind speed and direction at different altitudes.
