As for the wind, it would get better in the afternoon.

These foundations already tremble, without need of the wind.

Maldives is still in the southwest monsoon.

For wind, there's a larger area, but much smaller footprint.

In places like Denmark and Germany, they've maxed out on wind already.

Earth sheltering and windbreaks can also reduce the absolute amount of heat needed by a building.

Creates wind barriers, vegetation growth, and small dams to prevent soil erosion and conserve water.

Actually, the footprint on the ground for wind is by far the smallest of any energy source in the world.

The country has never experienced a civil war, either. Also, Zambia does not experience monsoon season nor does it really have jungles.

living in land that is not that fertile, particularly when you cut down trees, and you leave the soil open to the wind for erosion, as desperate populations cut down more and more trees, so that they can try and grow food for themselves and their families, what's going to happen?

But in October, remember, we're still in southwest monsoon, Maldives is still in the southwest monsoon.

By that time, it was a small hurricane, and the radius of maximum winds was smaller than normal for its latitude and central pressure.

There are no wind measurements available, but a wealth of reports and diaries make it clear that this storm was extremely serious.

It's got 160 wind farms, each 100 square kilometers in size, and that would be a twentyfold increase over today's amount of wind.

Kempton and Budischak designed a computer model for wind, solar, and storage to meet demand for one fifth of the US grid.

Geospace extends from Earth's atmosphere to the outer reaches of Earth's magnetic field, whereupon it gives way to the solar wind of interplanetary space.

Syria states that, in the 2004 photographs, the stone surface appears to be cleaner due to the repeated exposure to wind and rain thus removing traces of what is likely to have been an imposed polluting layer.

During 2009, seven large wind turbines, likely Vestas 3MWs totalling 21MW capacity, were erected in the sea north of Sprogø to contribute to the electrical demand of the Great Belt Link.

The Kite Wind Generator (KWG) or Kitegen is claimed to eliminate all the static and dynamic problems that prevent the increase of the power (in terms of dimensions) obtainable from the traditional horizontal axis wind turbine generators.

So here is a typical stud wall, an architectural construction, and this is a section of our proposal for a meat house, where you can see we use fatty cells as insulation, cilia for dealing with wind loads and sphincter muscles for the doors and windows.

In 1919 the German physicist Albert Betz showed that for a hypothetical ideal wind energy extraction machine, the fundamental laws of conservation of mass and energy allowed no more than 16 27 (59.3 ) of the kinetic energy of the wind to be captured.

This was confirmed by wind tunnel tests, which showed that the buildings create an S shaped flow, ensuring that any wind coming within a 45 angle to either side of the central axis will create a wind stream that remains perpendicular to the turbines.

2 For instance, the INDOEX field experiment (http www.indoex.ucsd.edu ) led to the discovery of a massive pollution cloud extending over the Indian Ocean, South and South East Asia and China, with serious potential impacts on marine life, agricultural productivity, and climate and monsoon hydrological cycles.

Changes in these patterns of winds and ocean currents might thus alter the frequency, severity and duration of extreme weather events including regional episodes of hurricanes, typhoons, storm surges, hot spells, cold snaps and severe windstorms.

In 2002 a pilot project design meeting for TPN 3 approved the systematic design for testing on pilot project plots the application of mulching, soil conditioning and windbreaks for sand fixation and rangeland protection.
