Annual and Diurnal Wind Variations Originating from Japanese Islands

Diurnal Mountain Wind Systems

Diurnal mountain wind systems are local thermally driven wind systems that form over mountainous terrain and are produced by the buoyancy effects associated with the diurnal cycle of heating and cooling of the lower atmospheric layers. This chapter reviews the present scientific understanding of diurnal mountain wind systems, focusing on research findings published since 1988. Slope flows are e...

Primary angioplasty and diurnal variations.

Rev Esp Cardiol. 2009;62(6):704-12 709 rhythmic variations.2 It has been clearly demonstrated that the beginning of an acute myocardial infarction most frequently occurs in the early hours of the morning, which has raised our interest in finding out what causes explain this circadian pattern, and what their clinical and therapeutic implications are.2 Secondly, various studies have provided data...

Diurnal and annual variations of meteor rates at the arctic circle

Meteors are an important source for (a) the metal atoms of the upper atmosphere metal layers and (b) for condensation nuclei, the existence of which are a prerequisite for the formation of noctilucent cloud particles in the polar mesopause region. For a better understanding of these phenomena, it would be helpful to know accurately the annual and diurnal variations of meteor rates. So far, thes...

Diurnal and seasonal variations of wind farm impacts on land surface temperature over western Texas

This paper analyzes seasonal and diurnal variations of MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land surface temperature (LST) data at *1.1 km for the period of 2003–2011 over a region in West-Central Texas, where four of the world’s largest wind farms are located. Seasonal anomalies are created from MODIS Terra (*10:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. local solar time) and Aqua (*1:30 a.m. and...
