Sentence examples for wind stresses from inspiring English sources
Cross-bracing or shear walls may be used to provide a structural frame with greater lateral rigidity in order to withstand wind stresses.
We also use interannual, six-day means of the surface wind stresses and wind speeds (1978 2007).
The primary hydrodynamic and sediment transport driving forces are wind waves (Dean and Dalrymple 1991), surface wind stresses, and inflows/outflows.
Short- and long-wavelength radiation, sensible and latent heat fluxes, wind stresses, and precipitation were calculated by the atmospheric model and supplied to the ocean model at every time step in the ocean model.
Interannual and decadal variations of the ITF can be derived from proxies such as sea level/pressure differences between the Pacific and Indian Ocean, and wind stresses based on Godfrey's Island Rule, which is the major reason why the variability of ITF acts out-of-phase with South China Sea throughflow.
The model is forced by solar radiation, cloudiness, surface wind stresses, wind speeds and precipitation, but the air temperature and humidity are computed by an advective atmospheric mixed layer model coupled to the OGCM so that sea surface temperature (SST) can be determined interactively without prescribing the latent and sensible heat fluxes and long wave radiation.
Warming of the water commences earlier and wind stress is reduced over the western sound.
In large, relatively unprotected lakes, wind stress at the surface causes convergence or divergence or both of shallow waters along coastlines.
However, the isolation remarkably increases the wind stress response and reduces wind resistance performance of the aqueduct bridge.
The upwelling indices (negative values indicate upwelling) were based on the northward wind stress component, and calculated according to Bakun [50].
The pronounced changes in vertical velocities are attributed to changes in the horizontal flow over varying topography due to wind stress modifications by the wind farms.
