Abstract: Pielke and Mehring have recently recommended a method for contouring temperature fields in mountainous terrain. In attempting to extend this method to the more complex terrain on the prototype, federal, oil shale leaseholds ...

Abstract: This comment reviews many of the problems associated with using deformed vegetation as an indicator of mean annual wind speed and wind power potential. It critiques the Wade and Hewson (1979) use of a ?jackknife technique? ...

Abstract: Some of the problems of wind power statistics are examined. The exact relationship between the mean wind speed and the mean of the cube of the wind speed is discussed. The Weibull probability density function, a good model ...

Abstract: The evaluation of wind power potential at a proposed aerogenerator site by extrapolation from measured winds at a reference level is investigated. It is shown that the total mean wind power density is not particularly ...

Abstract: This note takes exception to the Reisinger and Robinson (1976) hypothesis of long-distance transport of 2,4-D in sufficient quantities to damage grapes after first putting the overall problem of herbicide injury in central ...
