Generation of Power from the Wind
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There is vast energy available in the earth's winds for man's use. It is conservatively estimated that the wind power available to man is the equivalent of the output of 1000 typical fossil fueled or nuclear power plants ...
Atmospheric Diffusion Studies Near a Lake Shore
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experiments designed to measure atmospheric diffusion in transitional states have been carried out for several years over the western end of Lake Erie. The concept of diffusion in transitional states, both in general and ...
Analog Computing Techniques Applied to Atmospheric Diffusion: Continuous Point Source
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The analog computer has been used to obtain solutions to the diffusion equation for the case of a continuous point source aloft. The basic model used is that of a source located between an inversion and the ground where ...
Some Restrictive Meteorological Conditions to be Considered in the Design of Stacks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There are several restrictive meteorological conditions that are of great importance in the design of stacks. The conditions considered are fumigation, fumigation, aerodynamic downwash, looping and trapping. Each condition ...
Trees as a Local Climatic Wind Indicator
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of trees as a local climatic wind indicator is described. Studies using trees as an indicator of prevailing wind direction, wind speed and as an evidence of the occurrence of severe winds are presented. This paper ...
Wind Power Potential in the Pacific Northwest
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Pacific Northwest is endowed with substantial resources of both hydro energy and wind energy for electrical power generation. The combination of these energy sources into an integrated and optimized system has the ...
