Sentences with phrase «vertical updraft»

I think what has happened is that the argument for Eq 34 was made in a vertical updraft situation where it may be that those horizontal terms were negligible relative to the vertical terms retained.

Activity within the eyewall is closely connected to the hurricane's overall intensity, with the vertical updraft fed by an inward - spiraling, ocean - hugging wind whose average speed is the highest across the whole storm.

Not exact matches

Unlike existing models, FV3 can also re-create vertical air currents that move between boxes, such as the updrafts that are a key element of hurricanes as well as tornadoes and thunderstorms.

The international team examined vertical wind motion, or updrafts, and aerosol concentration data from one of these stations from March to May 2014.

But for a tornado to form, you still need to tilt the rotation into the vertical, and this requires a nearby updraft.

Additionally, an autonomous soaring software algorithm — that would typically monitor the local vertical winds around the aircraft — commands the aircraft to orbit in any nearby updrafts, very similar to soaring birds.

The Wind - Solar Tower is a small to medium size combination VAWT (vertical axis wind turbine) and SUT (solar updraft tower) used to generate electricity.

When the gust front gets under the updraft, it pulls up on the rotating air associated with the gust front, stretching it out, and causing it to spin faster... Both the source of rotation of the mesocyclone and the tornado ultimately come from environmental vertical shear, but a tornado can actually sometimes spin in the opposite direction.

Convection is characterized by a circulation pattern of rising and sinking air masses, and the atmospheric vertical volume transport takes place through cells of updraft and subsidence; however, these may not be coherent or stable in time and space.

Another issue may be that the representation of the energy balance may be incomplete merely from the spatial variance of analyzed vertical velocity, as unresolved convective transport (cumulus convection) may be due to updrafts not resolved by reanalysis.
