After wind speeds lessened over the weekend and firefighters made progress against the deadly blazes in Southern California, gusty Santa Ana winds are returning to the region this week, raising ...
A wind atlas contains data on the wind speed and wind direction in a region. [1] These data include maps , but also time series or frequency distributions . A climatological wind atlas covers hourly averages at a standard height (10 meters) over even longer periods (30 years) but depending on the application there are variations in averaging ...
The average wind speed during Tuesday afternoon's storm was 60-70 mph, powerful enough to uproot trees and cause the widespread damage seen in Bloomington today. ... Maps and images reveal scale ...
Constant pressure charts normally contain plotted values of temperature, humidity, wind, and the vertical height above sea level of the pressure surface. [29] They have a variety of uses. In the mountainous terrain of the western United States and Mexican Plateau, the 850 hPa pressure surface can be a more realistic depiction of the weather ...
