Gusts And Gales

Explains what causes wind, the various kinds of wind, and describes hurricanes and tornadoes.

Based on a fifty-year study conducted by the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research, this book brings together a comprehensive summary of their observations and findings. Written by well-known experts, this revealing book concentrates on long-term changes in the Baltic Sea?which can be extrapolated to shed light on the environmental problems of other shelf seas, brackish seas, and large estuaries?thereby contributing to our understanding of water exchange processes, eutrophication, and climatic impacts at the forefront of international concern.

Vols. 10-11 include Meteorology of England by James Glaisher as seperately paged section at end.

This volume contains contributions on the following aspects of wind engineering research: wind-characteristics, exposure, simulation and environment; building aerodynamics, external and internal pressures; full-scale experiments; vehicle aerodynamics and dynamic response; mathematical modelling; aeroelastic instabilities; and more.
