The equator-located NEC receives more solar heat than the more poleward-located SEC, which leads to a much denser but thinner upper layer for the NEC. The current flows faster in the thinner layer. Another reason is the smaller Coriolis effect at the equator. The NEC, thus, is more aligned to the westward wind on the equator. [6]
Located on the Atlantic coast of North America, the region borders Canada to its north, the Southern United States to its south, the Midwestern United States to its west, and the Atlantic Ocean to its east. The Northeast is one of the four regions defined by the U.S. Census Bureau for the collection and analysis of statistics. [1]
Without snow, the ground absorbs more heat, creating a warming feedback loop. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Snow depth tracker: See how much snowfall has hit the US Show comments
Mount Washington still holds the record for highest measured wind speed not associated with a tornado or tropical cyclone. [4] [a] The mountain is located in the Presidential Range of the White Mountains, in Coös County, New Hampshire. The mountain is in several unincorporated townships, with the summit in the township of Sargent's Purchase.
Strong winds expected elsewhere today: Wind advisories have been issued for broader parts of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, including New York City to Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. While ...
Later charts have been obtained from the US Navy. Each chart gives a snap-shot of the currents path at the end of the month. The monthly charts were analysed by the procedure described in Taylor. [7] [8] The latitude of the north wall was read from each chart at each of the six longitudes: 79, 75, 72, 70, 67 and 65°W.
As an arctic blast hits the Northeastern U.S. this weekend, a clipper system moving across the Great Lakes and into the Northeast early next week is bringing a chance of snow -- and rain -- for ...
Wind observation measures the horizontal vector component of the wind, which includes both direction and speed. These are determined by evaluating the measurement over a 2-minute period. [4]: 24–10 The wind direction is coded with the first three digits in tens of degrees relative to the true north. If wind speed is less than or equal to 6 kn ...
