There are three circulation cells: the Hadley cell nearest the equator, the Ferrel cell in the mid-latitudes, and the polar cell. There are three prevailing wind belts associated with these cells: the trade winds, the prevailing westerlies, and the polar easterlies (Fig. 3.10).

There are two categories of wind effects in ecology: (1) the effect of the vegetation surface on the wind, how it lowers wind speed near the ground, shelters niches from strong winds where small animals and plants can establish and live; and (2) the effect that wind and turbulence excert on many aspects of animal behavior, plant growth and ...
22 Ιαν 2018 · Thermal wind balance. Thermal wind is the first of four main types of atmospheric flow. The most complex type of wind, it drives weather systems across the globe. It’s born from differences in the temperatures between the equator and the poles.
20 Ιουλ 2020 · Wind regimes (speed, direction and directional consistency) help explain the transoceanic dispersal of birds 5, arthropods 6, plants 7 and microorganisms 8; the regional and local movement of...
The Beaufort scale has 17 levels of wind force. “0” describes conditions that are so calm that smoke rises vertically. “12” describes a hurricane, and “13-17” are reserved only for tropical typhoons, the most powerful and potentially destructive wind systems.
This is sometimes counter-intuitive. Short bursts of high speed wind are termed gusts. Strong winds of intermediate duration (around one minute) are termed squalls. Long-duration winds have various names associated with their average strength, such as breeze, gale, storm, and hurricane.
30 Αυγ 2023 · In summary, birds skillfully handle strong gusty winds through refined, evolved wing suspension systems and stable flight mechanics, deftly soaring and maneuvering. Observing birds’ remarkable capabilities can provide valuable insights, inspiring more stable aircraft designs.
