  3. Citicorp Center engineering crisis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citicorp_Center...

    The concern was for the integrity of the building structure in high wind conditions. Estimates at the time suggested that if the mass damper was disabled by a power failure, the building could be toppled by a 70-mile-per-hour (110 km/h) quartering wind, with possibly many people killed as a result.

  4. Wind resource assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_resource_assessment

    Wind speeds can vary considerably across a wind farm site if the terrain is complex (hilly) or there are changes in roughness (the height of vegetation or buildings). Wind flow modeling software, based on either the traditional WAsP linear approach or the newer CFD approach, is used to calculate these variations in wind speed.

    The Vattenfall utility company study found Hydroelectric, nuclear stations and wind turbines to have far less greenhouse emissions than other sources studied.. A typical study of a wind farm's Life cycle assessment, when not connected to the electric grid, usually results in similar findings as the following 2006 analysis of 3 installations in the US Midwest, where the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power

    Wind turbines have been used for household electric power generation in conjunction with battery storage over many decades in remote areas. [105] Examples of small-scale wind power projects in an urban setting can be found in New York City, where, since 2009, several building projects have capped their roofs with Gorlov-type helical wind turbines.

    Based on satellite imagery, the Dvorak technique is the primary technique used to estimate globally the tropical cyclone intensity. [19]The Potential Intensity (PI) of tropical cyclones can be computed from observed data, primarily derived from vertical profiles of temperature, humidity and sea surface temperatures (SSTs).
