Sentences with phrase «than the wind intensity»

Whether cooler water would have affected any of these factors other than the wind intensity is unclear.

Not exact matches

Since daily ACE represents a 4 - times daily sum of wind speed squared, an «average» September 21st could see one of the following (among other combos): One TC at 125 knots Two TCs at 90 knots Three TCs at 70 knots or Six TCs at 50 knots Current TCs = 0 September 15: Global Hurricane Frequency [storms with maximum intensity greater than 64 knots] has dramatically collapsed during the past 2 - 3 years.

But even if cylindrical spreading (or projection) did apply to wind turbine sound, the intensity at 35 km would still be less than one 35th of the very low sound levels at 1 km.

The colour field underneath the wind arrows shows the precipitation rate on a scale from 0 to 20 mm per hour, noting that peaks in rainfall intensity (which may have been far higher than 20 mm / hr at times in localised regions within the Hurricane circulation), are not resolved in this animation.

When comparing a category 5 and a category 6 tropical cyclone of the same duration, given the difference in their intensity characterized by maximum wind speed, the kinetic energy of the category 6 storm of 165 to 185 knots would be 139 % — 175 % higher than the category 5 storm of 140 knots, Lin said.

The main reason that effectiveness is less than 100 % is that wind generation displaces the lower rather than the higher emissions intensity generators; e.g. wind displaces gas in preference to coal.

In the 66 % 2 °C Scenario, aggressive efficiency measures would be needed to lower the energy intensity of the global economy by 2.5 % per year on average between 2014 and 2050 (three - and - a-half times greater than the rate of improvement seen over the past 15 years); wind and solar combined would become the largest source of electricity by 2030.

For example, the maximum surface wind in the simulated hurricanes from that model is less than 50 m / s (which is borderline category 3 hurricane intensity).

The graph at the right shows that this statement is false; note how greenhouse gas emissions intensity has greatly declined in SA, far more than in any other state, in the period when most of our wind farms were built.
