Ocean Wind was a proposed utility-scale 2,248 MW offshore wind farm to be located on the Outer Continental Shelf approximately 15 miles (24 km) off the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey. It was being developed by Ørsted US Offshore Wind in conjunction with Public Service Enterprise Group (PSE&G).
A small bottle of rượu thuốc Rượu thuốc in Phú Quốc island. A popular type of rượu thuốc is snake wine (rượu rắn) for its placebo ability to cure multiple diseases including far sightedness, hair loss, back pain, digestive problems, fertility problems and even leprosy. [2]
The storm had a compact circulation center just offshore of the southern coast of Vietnam, with an eye-like feature surrounded by weak to moderate convective activity. At 07:00 UTC on November 12, it made landfall just north of Quy Nhon, Vietnam, and quickly moved inland. The JMA continued to track the system until it dissipated on the same day.
The term originally derives from the early fourteenth century sense of trade (in late Middle English) still often meaning "path" or "track". [2] The Portuguese recognized the importance of the trade winds (then the volta do mar, meaning in Portuguese "turn of the sea" but also "return from the sea") in navigation in both the north and south Atlantic Ocean as early as the 15th century.

Vietnam is a southeast Asian country, and is the easternmost country of mainland Southeast Asia. It borders the South China Sea , hence, seeing the increased likeliness of tropical cyclones . Tropical cyclones in this area are considered to be part of the Northwest Pacific basin , and therefore, storms here are considered as typhoons .
Wind stress over the ocean is important as it is a major source of kinetic energy input to the ocean which in turn drives large scale ocean circulation. [1] The use of relative wind stress instead of wind stress, where the ocean current is assumed to be stationary, reduces the stress felt over the ocean in models.
Sơn Tinh – Thủy Tinh (The Mountain God vs.The Lord of the Waters) is a Vietnamese myth.It explains the practice of tidal irrigation and devastating floods in Vietnam as a result of monsoon—a seasonal prevailing wind in the region of South and Southeast Asia, blowing from the southwest between May and September and bringing rain (the wet monsoon), or from the northeast between October ...
The strength of the sea breeze is directly proportional to the temperature difference between the land and the sea. If a strong offshore wind is present (that is, a wind greater than 8 knots (15 km/h)) and opposing the direction of a possible sea breeze, the sea breeze is not likely to develop. [3]
