in this research the daily data of 69 climatic variables (wind direction, wind speed, dry temperature, wet temperature, maximum and minimum temperature, average daily temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, station level pressure, cloudiness, horizontal visibility, vapor pressure, …) of abumoosa synoptic station during the years 1362-1388 were studied. initially, a data base of variabl...

In this research paper, a 10 minute period measured wind speed data at 10 m, 30 m, and 40 m heights are presented for one of the major provinces of Iran. Four stations in Khuzestan- Abadan, Hosseyneh, Mahshahr, and Shushtar- are analyzed to determine the potential of wind power generation in this province. From the primary evaluation and by determining mean wind speed and also the Weibull f...

A large global compilation of altimeter and scatterometer satellite crossover samples is used to address altimeter wind speed inversion. The emphasis here is altimeter wind error due to sea state impacts. Numerous past studies have suggested that long-scale gravity waves, which do not adjust to wind as quickly as the short gravity-capillary waves, have a measurable influence on interpretation o...

Ultrasonic wind speed measurement technique obtains more and more extensive use in the field of Meteorology and Environmental Protection etc. When designing an ultrasound wind vector instrument, synthesizing wind vector information, containing wind velocity vector and wind angle, is of prime importance to accomplish accurate measurement. This paper presents synthesis algorithm of ultrasonic 2D ...

We investigated geomagnetic activity which was induced by interplanetary magnetic clouds during the past four solar cycles, 1965–1998. We have found that the intensity of such geomagnetic storms is more severe in solar maximum than in solar minimum. In addition, we affirm that the average solar wind speed of magnetic clouds is faster in solar maximum than in solar minimum. In this study, we fin...

Air moving into the open end of a passive sampler affects the pollutant mass transfer by generating eddies leading to a reduction in the molecular diffusion length and a consequent overestimation of the pollutant concentration. This decrease is found to be experimentaly in the range of 10-40 % depending on the wind speed at the site. Assuming that the eddy turbulence is isotropic and the horizo...

[1] Two He/SF6 dual‐gas tracer injections were conducted during the Southern Ocean Gas Exchange Experiment (SO GasEx) to determine gas transfer velocities. During the experiment, wind speeds of up to 16.4 m s were encountered. A total of 360 He and 598 SF6 samples were collected at 40 conductivity‐temperature‐depth (CTD) rosette casts and two pumped stations. The gas transfer velocity k was cal...

We study the generation of surface waves on water as a bifurcation phenomenon. For a critical wind-speed there appear traveling wave solutions. While linear waves do not transport mass (in the mean), nonlinear effects create a shear-flow and result in a net mass transport in the direction of the wind. We derive an asymptotic formula for the average tangential velocity along the free surface. Nu...
