In the northernmost taiga the forest cover is not only more sparse, but often stunted in growth form ; moreover, ice pruned asymmetric Black Spruce ( in North America ) are often seen, with diminished foliage on the windward side.

Rainfall in the FCT reflects the territory's location on the windward side of the Jos Plateau and the zone of rising air masses with the city receiving frequent rainfall during the rainy season from March to November every year.

Thimphu valley lying in the leeward side of the mountains is comparatively dry and contains a different type of vegetation as compared to the windward side.

Punakha, the old capital of Bhutan, is on the windward side with broad-leaved trees dominating the topography.

A Föhn wind results from precipitation on the windward side of a mountain range which releases latent heat into the atmosphere which is then warmer on the leeward side ( e. g. the Chinook or the original Föhn ).

This is in large part due to the fact that, as throughout California, the prevailing weather systems and wind come normally from the Pacific Ocean, blowing in from the west and southwest so that places closer to the ocean and on the windward side of higher elevations tend to receive more rain from autumn through spring and more summer wind and fog.

Both ends are alike, and the boat is sailed in either direction, but it has a high windward side and a lower leeward side supported by an outrigger.

The plant is propagated from other rhizomes and cultivation takes place up to heights of 300 metres on the eastern and windward facing side of the highlands of St. Vincent.

At Kahaluʻu, visitors to the windward side travelling via the Pali Highway, H-3, or Likelike Highway first encounter the ocean ( actually Kaneohe Bay ) close beside the highway ( Kamehameha Highway or Route 83 ).

On the other hand, Lucayan villages were linear, along the coast, often on the leeward side of an island, but also found on the windward side wherever tidal creeks provided some protected shoreline.

Exposed to westerly winds from the Atlantic, heavy with rain, the windward side of the mountains has up to 1, 600 mm of rain annually ( West Harz, Upper Harz, High Harz ); in contrast, the leeward side only receives an average of 600 mm of precipitation per annum ( East Harz, Lower Harz, Eastern Harz foothills ).

White frost forms when there is a relative humidity above 90 % and a temperature below – 8 ° C ( 18 ° F ) and it grows against the wind direction, since arriving windward air has a higher humidity than leeward air, but the wind must not be very strong in order not to damage the delicately built icy structures.

There is a suggestion that the rig was sometimes used in a lateen style with the top cross spar dipped at an angle to aid sailing to windward i. e. the spar became the luff.

No explanation is offered as to how this could be accomplished with a square sail as the lower reefed portion of the sail would be very bulky and would prevent even an approximation of the laminar flow necessary for windward sailing.

This pattern is modified by adabiatic effects as rising air masses cool and drop their moisture content on windward slopes, then warm up as they descend so relative humidity drops.

Any action that reduces the angle of heel of a boat that is reaching or beating to windward will help reduce excessive weather helm.

The aim, once again, is to adjust weight ' windward ' or ' leeward ' to prevent excessive heeling.

In mountainous areas, heavy snow is possible where upslope flow is maximized within windward sides of the terrain at elevation, if the atmosphere is cold enough.

Conversely the snowpack on a windward slope is often much shallower than on lee slopes.

Ahuimanu is spread out beneath the steep windward pali ( cliff face ) of the Koolau mountain and separated by a low ridge from Heeia Kea.

A slight amount of weather helm is thought by some sailors to be a desirable situation, both from the standpoint of the " feel " of the helm, and the tendency of the boat to head slightly to windward in stronger gusts, to some extent self-feathering the sails.

In parts of the world subjected to relatively consistent winds ( for example the trade winds ), a wetter climate prevails on the windward side of a mountain than on the leeward ( downwind ) side as moisture is removed by orographic precipitation.

Orographic precipitation is well known on oceanic islands, such as the Hawaiian Islands or New Zealand, where much of the rainfall received on an island is on the windward side, and the leeward side tends to be quite dry, almost desert-like, by comparison.

Another advantage is that a barque can outperform a schooner or barkentine, and is both easier to handle and better at going to windward than a full-rigged ship.

Compared to other types, sloops therefore tend to perform very well when sailing upwind ( also known as sailing to windward or sailing close hauled ).

The Bermuda rig is the ( nearly ) undisputed champion of windward performance in soft sails, due to its very low drag and high lift-to-drag ratio.

The east coast is the windward side for most of the year, and is characterised by a coastal cliff that rises close to the ocean, leaving only a narrow and often rocky beach.

The narrow beam, the high centre of gravity, the low aspect ratio of the centre board and the longitudinal rudder shape do not help windward performance, but mostly these same features help in shallow waters or where the boat has to change direction often, such as in a tidal or rocky estuary.

Leading the windward column in Victory was Nelson, while Collingwood in Royal Sovereign led the second, leeward, column.

While a full-rigged ship is the best runner available, and while fore-and-aft rigged vessels are the best at going to windward, the barque is often the best compromise, and combines the best elements of these two.

In the first leg the boats are tacking against the wind in order to get to the windward mark the fastest without being penalized while also trying to get the other boats penalized.

This restricts gunnery, as cannon on the windward side are now elevated, while the leeward gun ports aim into the sea, or in heavy weather may be awash.

* The windward side of the island of Madagascar, which sees easterly on-shore winds, is wet tropical, while the western and southern sides of the island lie in the rain shadow of the central highlands and are home to thorn forests and deserts.

HPU's downtown Honolulu campus serves most of the business, liberal arts, and other general programs ; while the Hawaii Loa campus on the windward side of the

The windward side of the hull is curved, similar to a typical canoe, while the lee side is straight and flat to minimize leeway while sailing.

In the accompanying figure, the boat is seen to tack three times while beating to windward.

When under way, the pump can be used to fill the windward side, while the lee side is allowed to drain.

This gave him the opportunity to surround Tromp from the north with the mass of frigates while simultaneously using his favourable windward position to attack him directly from the west with the heavy English ships.
