Unsurprisingly there's some tyre roar over coarse surfaces, but wind noise is never an issue at motorway speeds and the ferocious V6 is easily tamed.

Refinement levels, for example, are right up there with the class best, with nary a hint of wind noise and only a marginal amount of tire roar entering the cabin when you're at highway speeds or travelling over rougher road surfaces.

The Bridgestone Potenzas, wrapped around 17 - inch alloys, roared over coarse sections of bitumen, but on freeway surfaces there was more wind noise and some driveline vibration — which was felt rather than heard.

Admittedly, the ride can be a little bit crashy over rougher surfaces, but everywhere else the Legacy managed to iron out the imperfections in the road with admirable ease, and a decent job is made of quashing wind and tire roar.

She can just make the crab out, shadowed and distorted, trundling sideways across the rock, and she pursues it, kicking her feet to stay pressed down against the bottom, and then she lays her hands on the cold crisp shell, somersaults in the water, and surges upward into her own plume of hair, up along a passage of black rock, pitted and winding, gaping windows alterately fountaining water or sucking it back, the weeds moving rhythmically in and out with this labored breathing, some trick of the light making the pool's surface into a shifting mirror, and though she should look up and see her grandpa bent over the pool, she can not.

Over exposure to the uneven surface of a wire floor can puncture through the fur of the rabbits foot, infecting the tissue and creating a wound.

Abstract:... Here we show that a pronounced strengthening in Pacific trade winds over the past two decades — unprecedented in observations / reanalysis data and not captured by climate models — is sufficient to account for the cooling of the tropical Pacific and a substantial slowdown in surface warming through increased subsurface ocean heat uptake.

Regarding El Nino, here's the recent update from Australia: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/enso/ «The past three or four weeks has seen a gradual strengthening of La Nina indicators: the near - equatorial Pacific has cooled both on and below the surface, the Trade Winds have been mostly stronger than normal and cloudiness has been lower than average over much of the tropical Pacific.

Maybe if you gave all the land surface of Australia over to wind farms it would work, otherwise not.

The hole is open to the air over approximately a 40 meter diameter surface, and barring absolutely perfect symmetry the wind will generate a vortex over the hole, which would result in mixing on a time scale of around a day or so or faster, even were it some heavier than air gas such as propane.

This study proposes a mechanism sustaining the enhanced westerly winds by a cyclonic atmospheric circulation in the Barents Sea region created by a strong surface heat flux over the ice - free areas.

Seems to me the debate about AGHG global warming and increasing TC frequency / intensity / duration boils down to the fact that as sea surface temperatures, as well as deeper water temperatures rise, the wallop of any TC over warmer seas without mitigating circumstances like wind sheer and dry air off land masses entrained in the cyclone will likely be much more devastating.

As such, it certainly includes winds over the ocean surface, and over Greenland, and hence it is tropospheric winds that account for the snowfall in Greenland.

Polar continental air affects the British Isles when pressure is high over Scandinavia with surface winds from an easterly direction (see Figure 6).

This air mass affects Britain when pressure is high over northern or eastern Europe with surface winds between east and south drawing hot air from North Africa (see Figure 5).
