An Introduction to Wind Erosion Control Wind erosion is the detachment, transportation and redeposition of soil particles by wind. The most familiar result of wind erosion is the loss of topsoil and nutrients which reduces the soil's ability to produce crops.

Maximum sustained wind Definition[edit] See also: Radius of maximum wind. The maximum sustained wind normally occurs at a distance from the center known as the radius of maximum wind, within a mature tropical cyclone's eyewall, before winds decrease at farther distances away from a tropical cyclone's center.

Windstorm Downslope winds are called fall winds or katabatic winds. Windstorms of this type are called boras or downslope windstorms. Warm air flowing poleward to the east of intense low-pressure systems can also produce windstorms. In North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula such a windstorm, called khamsin, can transport large amounts of dust and sand northward.

What is the meaning of wind span and weight span? When looking at the transmission line profile view, the wind span is defined as half of the sum of adjacent spans. The weight span is defined as the distance from low point sag of one span to the low point sag of the next span. To clarify, these values have to do with loading of a supporting structure (transmission line pole structure).

- An anemometer is a device that tells you how fast the wind is blowing. The device you can build is a model of a wind speed indicator. A real one will be able to accurately measure how fast the wind is blowing. Yours will give you only approximation of how fast it's blowing.

"What do the words ""windward"" and ""leeward"" mean? How are they different? What are the common uses for these terms?" Windward and leeward are words used to describe directions based on how the wind is blowing. If you are standing in a windy place, and you face so that the wind is blowing straight into your face, you are facing windward. If you stand so that the wind is blowing onto your back, you are facing leeward.

Wind Wind is the flow of gases on a large scale. On the surface of the Earth, wind consists of the bulk movement of air. In outer space, solar wind is the movement of gases or charged particles from the Sun through space, while planetary wind is the outgassing of light chemical elements from a planet's atmosphere into space.ind is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds of various speeds.

Learn the Causes Behind Gusts of Wind A wind gust is a sudden, short burst of high speed wind that's followed by a lull. Whenever you see wind gusts in your forecast, it means the National weather Service has observed or expects wind speeds to reach at least 18 mph, and the difference between the peak winds and the lulls to vary by 10 mph or more. A gust of wind typically lasts only a few seconds.

- In storm spotting, a backing wind usually refers to the turning of a south or southwest surface wind with time to a more east or southeasterly direction. Backing of the surface wind can increase the potential for tornado development by increasing the directional shear at low levels.

Wind Erosion Wind erosion is a serious environmental problem attracting the attention of many across the globe. It is a common phenomenon occurring mostly in flat, bare areas; dry, sandy soils; or anywhere the soil is loose, dry, and finely granulated. Wind erosion damages land and natural vegetation by removing soil from one place and depositing it in another. It causes soil loss, dryness and deterioration of soil structure, nutrient and productivity losses and air pollution. Suspended dust and dirt is inevitably deposited over everything.
