Sentence examples for minimum wind cost from inspiring English sources

Actual trajectories of tracked birds closely resembled minimum wind cost trajectories.

The mathematically calculated minimum wind cost trajectory is that optimizing the cost of the trip considered in its entirety.

The designed Monte Carlo randomization test demonstrates that visual similarity between minimum wind cost trajectories and the flyways from the tracked birds (Figures 2 and 3) is indeed the expression of a strong relationship (P≈0.01), and thus the null hypothesis of no association can be rejected.

Anisotropic wind cost analysis applied to the spatiotemporal dynamics of the tracked model showed that the minimum wind cost trajectory is not the great circle line between Canary and Benguela currents, but a SW loop that turns east after crossing the tropic of Capricorn (Figure 2).

If the average trajectory followed by the birds were among the 5% more similar trajectories to the minimum wind cost trajectory among all random trajectories having the same endpoints, it would indicate that birds use minimum costs pathways for their transoceanic movements.

To test whether birds used low wind cost pathways, each of the 15 bird flyways were partitioned into segments representing two-day trajectories (TDT), the minimum time span required to avoid wind no-data values.

Our wind cost analyses suggest two further factors.

We set the minimum wind speed to 0.5 m s-1.

Using a type I model least-squares regression, we examined the residual variance in the recapture rates using a range of other climate variables, most significantly, maximum and minimum wind speed, average wind speed, wind direction, and maximum and minimum daily temperature (note: all wind data were taken from a nearby orchard weather station).

Most importantly, global flyways (Figure 3) connecting breeding and wintering areas closely match the minimum cost "wind highways" mathematically calculated from daily wind fields (Figure 2).

It includes wind turbines cost, foundations cost, road construction cost, and grid-connection cost, accounting for 80% of the overall cost of wind power project.
