  2. Dvorak technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_technique

    Common developmental patterns seen during tropical cyclone development, and their Dvorak-assigned intensities. The Dvorak technique (developed between 1969 and 1984 by Vernon Dvorak) is a widely used system to estimate tropical cyclone intensity (which includes tropical depression, tropical storm, and hurricane/typhoon/intense tropical cyclone intensities) based solely on visible and infrared ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Tropical cyclones and climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclones_and...

    The destruction from early 21st century Atlantic Ocean hurricanes, such as Hurricanes Katrina, Wilma, and Sandy, caused a substantial upsurge in interest in the subject of climate change and hurricanes by news media and the wider public, and concerns that global climatic change may have played a significant role in those events. In 2005 and ...

    Whoopi Goldberg celebrated her 69th birthday on the Nov. 13 episode of “The View,” but the party ended with a rather shocking revelation that a bakery refused to sell the EGOT winner desserts ...

  7. Rayleigh distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_distribution

    One example where the Rayleigh distribution naturally arises is when wind velocity is analyzed in two dimensions. Assuming that each component is uncorrelated , normally distributed with equal variance , and zero mean , which is infrequent, then the overall wind speed ( vector magnitude) will be characterized by a Rayleigh distribution.

    Sucks, but I don’t see people having a different analysis.” Whitmer’s fans point out that the governor of Michigan is proof that a Democrat can not only win a competitive “blue wall ...

  9. 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.
