About 35 years ago when I living in Portland, Oregon for 5 years, during the winters, we dreaded the 'gorge winds' a cold air-mass staying put when a warm Pacific front hit, causing a nasty freezing rain event for a day or more-the name of that wind was changed to a more colorful 'Coho Wind' . ❋ Unknown (2010)
In addition, different models produce different patterns of air-mass mixing, and as a result different patterns of mean frontal positions. ❋ Unknown (2009)
However, intensified air-mass circulation associated with a warmer climate has introduced a stronger flow of warm air into specific regions of the Arctic and enhanced the return flow of cold air out of the Arctic in other regions. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Perhaps the attitude of the bolide and the local air-mass in the San Francisco Bay area was the cause of the strange reverberation sounds. ❋ Unknown (2009)
When it is windy the mixing is vertical as well as horizontal, so the urban temperature becomes more representative of the whole air-mass, especially because the generally faster moving air aloft can quickly cross whole cities including suburbs. ❋ Unknown (2007)
The rotation of the earth kept the inflowing winds spinning; and the heat of the ocean went on intensifying the whole circling air-mass. ❋ Francis, Dick (1999)
It must be built so that the air-mass will sustain it and the motor, and the motor must be of sufficient power to overcome the air resistance. ❋ Paul Severing (N/A)
Therefore air-mass and air resistance are the first principles to be taken into consideration in the construction of an aeroplane. ❋ Paul Severing (N/A)
Overall warming would tend to move air-mass battlegrounds closer to the poles, thus displacing the jets. ❋ Unknown (2010)
What early airborne molecules had warned the birds of the imminent air-mass from Siberia? ❋ Unknown (2009)
Such abiotic proxy records include shifts in the isotopic composition of glacial deposits (and to some extent permafrost or pore water), which provide regional information about changes in origin, air-mass evolution, and condensation temperature of precipitation (or recharge); changes in summer melt characteristics of glacial deposits or sedimentary and geomorphological evidence such as the presence of laminated lake sediments (varves), the latter of which are indicative of water depths great enough to produce stratified water columns and meromixis; and variations in varve thicknesses in lakes and fining/coarsening sequences or paleoshoreline mapping that can be used to reconstruct shifts in lake or sea levels. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The rotation of this large cylindrical shell carries a total angular momentum (the product of total air-mass in the shell times average rotational speed), which we will label Mr. The air in the outermost shell moves inward to the next nested shell of thickness dr (these shells are arbitrary mathematical conceptions), which must also carry momentum Mr since there is no significant force to impede the flow (this is the law of conservation of angular momentum). ❋ Unknown (2008)
"We'd have gone through the effects of our own bomb with nothing more than a bad shaking-of course, on contragrav-ity, we're weightless relative to the air-mass, but she was built to stand the winds in the high latitudes. ❋ Piper, H. Beam (1952)
