has proposed and may construct a wind farm after the Environmental Impacts are weighed.

The construction of the wind farm will bring to the area 396-749 full and part time jobs during construction and 24-46 new jobs to maintain the facility.

Because the solar wind exists are all time and not just times of solar flares, the magnetopause is a permanent feature of the space near any planet with a magnetic field.

Although helium is present only in low concentrations on the Moon, where it is deposited into regolith by the solar wind, an estimated million tons of He-3 exists over all.

A slight risk day typically will mean the threat exists for scattered severe weather, including scattered wind damage or severe hail and possibly some isolated tornadoes.

But whoever – the ‘ Mediterranean ’ or the ‘ wind ’ – ‘ saw ’ ( l. 33 ) the question remains whether the city one of them saw, is real and therefore a reflection on the water of a city that really exists on the coast ; or the city is just an illusion.

This dead zone only exists during the summer, perhaps due to wind patterns.

If an offshore wind of exists, the sea breeze is not likely to develop.

Some ambiguity exists in the fact that the path a navigator intends to follow, after evaluating and counteracting possible effects of wind and current, is also called a track.

* Hydrometeor, a term which refers to any phenomenon water-vapor related which exists within the Earth's atmosphere due to condensation, precipitation, or being blown into the atmosphere by the wind

According to the first variant no relative motion exists between Earth and aether ; according to the second one, relative motion exists and thus the speed of light should depend on the speed of this motion (" aether wind "), which should be measurable by instruments at rest on Earth's surface.

Over the rapidly-diminishing outline of a jump seat piled high with luggage Herry's black brushcut was just discernible, near, or enviably near that spot where -- hidden -- more delicately-textured, most beautifully tinted hair must still be streaming back in cool, oh cool wind sweetly perfumed with sagebrush and yucca flowers and engine fumes.

One possible explanation was that upwardly accelerating shock waves from the impact accelerated charged particles enough to cause auroral emission, a phenomenon more typically associated with fast-moving solar wind particles striking a planetary atmosphere near a magnetic pole.

Landsat 7 image of clouds off the Chilean coast near the Juan Fernandez Islands on September 15, 1999, shows a unique pattern called a " Kármán vortex street ", caused by the height of the island's hills interacting with the wind.

When looking at a Van Goyen painting one can almost feel the wind in the trees laced with the scent of a bluest smoke lingering above a rustic cottage, or taste the salted air near the seashore he painted.

Oars were used when near the coast or in a river, to gain speed quickly, and when there was an adverse ( or insufficient ) wind.

Albatrosses spend long stretches of time at sea fishing, and use a flight pattern called " dynamic soaring " which exploits the vertical gradient of wind speed near the ocean surface to travel long distances without flapping, and without the aid of thermals ( which do not occur over the open ocean the same way they do over land ).

While tides are usually the largest source of short-term sea-level fluctuations, sea levels are also subject to forces such as wind and barometric pressure changes, resulting in storm surges, especially in shallow seas and near coasts.

If there is enough low level wind shear, the column of hot, rising air can develop a small cyclonic motion that can be seen near the ground.

The solar wind is a tenuous stream of plasma that flows outwards from the Sun: near the Earth's orbit, it contains several million protons and electrons per cubic meter and flows at.

By the end of World War Two, the US had built eight new wind tunnels, including the largest one in the world at Moffett Field near Sunnyvale, California, which was designed to test full size aircraft at speeds of less than 250 mph and a vertical wind tunnel at Wright Field, Ohio, where the wind stream is upwards for the testing of models in spin situations and the concepts and engineering designs for the first primitive helicopters flown in the US.

NREL estimated that a kilogram of hydrogen ( roughly equivalent to a gallon of gasoline ) could be produced by wind powered electrolysis for between $ 5. 55 in the near term and $ 2. 27 in the long term.

Recently the city's first wind turbine has been installed above Babakoohi mountain near the city.

However, a diffraction grating can be made out of this mirror, by scraping away areas near the edge of the mirror that usually cancel nearby amplitudes out — but now, since the photons would not reflect from the scraped-off portions, the probability amplitudes which would all wind up pointing, for instance, at forty-five degrees can have a sizable sum.

This pressure traps the heat near the ground, and also creates wind currents that circulate very hot air, thereby distributing the heat to all areas, regardless of shade and other factors.

Well-developed cumulonimbus clouds are characterized by a flat, anvil-like top ( anvil dome ), caused by wind shear or inversion near the tropopause.

Mistral wind blowing near Marseille.

< p > In another place, this learned geographer, in alluding to the tradition that Sicily had been separated by a convulsion from Italy, remarks, that at present the land near the sea in those parts was rarely shaken by earthquakes, since there were now open orifices whereby fire and ignited matters and waters escaped ; but formerly, when the volcanoes of Etna, the Lipari Islands, Ischia, and others, were closed up, the imprisoned fire and wind might have produced far more vehement movements.

Although mostly used by coast radio stations, there is nothing to stop individual craft broadcasting their own Sécurité messages where appropriate, for example, a yacht becalmed ( rendered motionless for lack of wind ), or any vessel adrift or unable to manoeuvre near other craft or shipping lanes.
