wind regime and sand grain size are two of the factors that determine the morphology and dynamics of sand dunes in desert areas. regarding the importance of wind effects on sand dunes especially in iran, in this study, khartooran erg was analyzed to determine wind direction and to detect sand source sites. khartooran erg is located on eastern north of iran and lies in khorasan razavi and semnan...

The hydrodynamic and constituent transport model UnTRIM was used to simulate hydrodynamics in Upper Klamath Lake, a shallow, hypereutrophic lake in which currents are responsive primarily to wind forcing. A simplified version of a dissolved oxygen model was used to simulate the transport of oxygen-depleted water from a deep trench on the western shoreline into important fish habitat in the nort...

At the Collm Observatory of the University of Leipzig LF D1 low-frequency total re ̄ection nighttime wind measurements have been carried out continuously for more than two decades. Using a multiple regression analysis to derive prevailing winds, tides and the quasi-2-day wave from the half-hourly mean values of the horizontal wind components, monthly mean values of mesopause wind parameters are ...

Airflow behavior and indoor/outdoor PM2.5 dispersion in different building–tree grouping patterns depend significantly on the building–tree layouts and orientation towards the prevailing wind. By using a standard k-ε model and a revised generalized drift flux model, this study evaluated airflow fields and indoor/outdoor relationships for PM2.5 resulting from partly wind-induced natural ventilat...

Estuarine waters are generally more turbid than lakes or marine waters due to greater algal mass and continual re-suspension of sediments. The varying effects of diurnal and seasonal prevailing winds on the turbidity condition of a wind-dominated estuary were investigated by spatial and statistical analyses of wind direction, water level, turbidity, chlorophyll a, and PAR (Photosynthetically Ac...

Atmospheric motions from 54 sodium cloud firings are examined in the 80-200-km. height region. To gain an insight into various types of motion that are presumably present in the total observed wind, an oscillatory component assigned to internal gravity waves, and the residual motion containing tides and prevailing wind, are studied. Data from apparent movements of ionospheric irregularities see...
