  2. Structural dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_dynamics

    Dynamic loads include people, wind, waves, traffic, earthquakes, and blasts. Any structure can be subjected to dynamic loading. Dynamic analysis can be used to find dynamic displacements, time history, and modal analysis. Structural analysis is mainly concerned with finding out the behavior of a physical structure when subjected to force.

  3. History of surface weather analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_surface_weather...

    The history of surface weather analysis concerns the timetable of developments related to surface weather analysis. Initially a tool of study for the behavior of storms, surface weather analyses became a work in progress to explain current weather and as an aid for short term weather forecasting .

  4. Wind wave model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_wave_model

    A retrospective analysis, or reanalysis, combines all available observations with a physical model to describe the state of a system over a time period of decades. Wind waves are a part of both the NCEP Reanalysis [42] and the ERA-40 from the ECMWF. [43]

  5. Surface weather analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_weather_analysis

    A surface weather analysis for the United States on October 21, 2006. By that time, Tropical Storm Paul was active (Paul later became a hurricane). Surface weather analysis is a special type of weather map that provides a view of weather elements over a geographical area at a specified time based on information from ground-based weather stations.

  6. Wind engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_engineering

    Flow visualization of wind speed contours around a house Wind engineering covers the aerodynamic effects of buildings Damaged wind turbines due to hurricane Maria. Wind engineering is a subset of mechanical engineering, structural engineering, meteorology, and applied physics that analyzes the effects of wind in the natural and the built environment and studies the possible damage ...

  7. Global Wind Atlas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Wind_Atlas

    The methodology used the 200 km of offshore wind data coverage, added a 1 km buffer zone, and then mapped any areas up to 1 km in depth with wind speeds above 7 m/s. The analysis divides the resource potential into fixed foundation and floating potential, with a cut-off of 50 m water depth for fixed. 55 regional and country maps have since been ...

  8. Prevailing winds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevailing_winds

    In meteorology, prevailing wind in a region of the Earth's surface is a surface wind that blows predominantly from a particular direction. The dominant winds are the trends in direction of wind with the highest speed over a particular point on the Earth's surface at any given time.

  9. Station model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Station_model

    Although the first digit or two of the pressure is left off, other nearby stations give away whether the pressure starts with a 10 or a 9. Most of the time, choosing first digits that would lead to a value nearest to 1000 works out best. [5] The plotting of this value within the station model allows for the analysis of isobars on weather maps ...
