PPT-Winds

The movement of air in a horizontal direction What is wind The uneven heating of the Earth causes differences in air pressure What causes wind The Suns energy is more concentrated at the Equator and spread out more over the poles. Weather Text Goes Here – Remember to hit the hazards as well as what will happen. 700 pm. Western Valleys & Mountains. In the valleys – Sustained winds 20 to 25 mph with gusts to 40 mph through mid-evening..

When you open the valve on a bicycle tube, the air rushes out.. i. Winds are created by. ….. • . Heating the air, decreases pressure (warm. air rises creating a low pressure). • Cool air rushes into replace the warm air. (cooler dense air, produces high pressure). The movement of air in a horizontal direction. What is wind?. The uneven heating of the Earth causes differences in air pressure.. What causes wind?. The Sun’s energy is more concentrated at the Equator and spread out more over the poles.. Lucrezia Ricciardulli, Thomas Meissner and Frank Wentz. Remote Sensing Systems, Santa Rosa, CA, USA.

Analytic Evaluation. If the horizontal wind components . u. and . v. are known, and vertical velocity is negligible, then the radial velocity . Compare & contrast an idealized hurricane life cycle with a real life example from the past. Understand how the angle of approach of a storm impacts regional damage. Objectives. Hurricane Structure.

Category 5? typical gusts over open flat land of more than 280km/h. These winds correspond to the highest category on the Beaufort Scale. Extremely dangerous with widespread destruction. One of the What causes wind? . Caused by a difference in air pressure due to. unequal heating of the atmosphere.. Winds are created by. ….. • . Heating the air, decreases pressure (warm. air rises creating a low pressure). Wind is the movement . of air caused by an uneven heating of the Earth’s . surface.. What HEATS EARTH’S SURFACE?. Heat from the sun heats the surface of the Earth.. This heat arrives to Earth in the form of radiation.. Global . Winds. - A . current. is a flow of air or water in a certain direction.. Global . Winds. Winds move from areas of . high. pressure to . low. pressure.. You might expect them to move straight from the poles (high pressure) to the equator (low pressure)but…. Local winds are caused by the movement of air between low-pressure and high-pressure systems within small areas. As there are so many different types of winds, each one takes on a unique form. Local winds frequently have a significant impact on climate in local regions, so it is critical to understand what causes them.. April 19 and 20, 2018. Mark A. Bourassa. 1.
