In the accompanying paper (part 1. Slick-like signatures) we describe and present results of a recent classification scheme for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) signatures of internal waves (IWs) that has been proposed based on the analysis of ERS SAR images of the Iberian shelf zone. According to this classification IWs display three different signatures depending on the parameters of surface-ac...

Understanding the characteristics of natural, wind-induced ventilation buildings is essential for accurate predictions flow rates; however, indoor significantly influenced by surrounding buildings. Therefore, a series wind-tunnel experiments were performed to clarify relationship between outdoor and air flows around within target cube model with several openings. Two building arrangements, name...

[1] Recent studies showed that, regardless of the orientation of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF), ULF wave activity in the solar wind can substantially enhance the convection in the high latitude ionosphere, suggesting that ULF fluctuations may also be an important contributor to the coupling of the solar wind to the magnetosphere‐ionosphere system. We conduct a statistical study to und...

Abstract: High penetration of wind energy into the network may introduce stability and power quality problems due to the fluctuating nature of the wind and the increasing complexity of the power system. This paper describes a novel approach to voltage and power control of a radial electrical distribution network, using a wind farm. The wind farm consists of seven 75 kW induction generators (DFI...

The daytime net ecosystem exchange of CO2 (NEE) was measured in an even-aged slash pine plantation in northern Florida from 1999 to 2001 using the eddy covariance technique. In August 2000, two clear-cuts were formed approximately 1 km west of the study site. A statistical approach was used to determine whether the clear-cuts induced changes in CO2 concentration, wind direction, horizontal and ...

The heliosphere is the bubble the Sun carves out of the interstellar medium. The solar wind moves outward at supersonic speeds and carries with it the Sun’s magnetic field. The interstellar medium is also moving at supersonic speeds and carries with it the interstellar magnetic field. The boundary between the solar wind and the interstellar medium is called the heliopause. Before these plasmas ...

We present two-dimensional hydrodynamic models of thermally driven winds from highly irradiated, closein extra-solar planets. We adopt a very simple treatment of the radiative heating processes at the base of the wind, and instead focus on the differences between the properties of outflows in multidimensions in comparison to spherically symmetric models computed with the same methods. For hot (...
