Examples in Context

  1. A polar vortex, also known as a circumpolar vortex, is a wind current that circulates above the North and South Poles. The currents sit like spinning hats above the Poles.
  2. The current solutions here have spiral structure like the Ekman model, but for the strong sea state there is obvious counter wind current which almost vanishes in the weak state case.
  3. Accordingly, the tide wave and the wind current are studied by numerical modeling elaborately in this paper.
  4. In order to study the heat exchange problem in heat-harm mine, a mathematical model of heat exchange of wind current and surrounding rock is established based on the theory of the thermodynamics.
  5. In this paper, investigate the main factors that affect the behavior of underwater spilled oil. Besides the property of oil, the operation pressure and the wind current, tidal current and wave have decisive effects on the oil polluted area and its position.
