[78][79] The Greek wind gods include Boreas, Notus, Eurus, and Zephyrus.
[2] Through the process of redrafting and copyediting, his character was removed from the original trilogy, but was reintroduced in 1994 when series creator George Lucas began writing the prequel trilogy. While taking off with a tailwind may be necessary under certain circumstances, a headwind is generally desirable. [18] There are general terms that differentiate winds of different average speeds such as a breeze, a gale, a storm, or a hurricane. Near the Earth's surface, friction causes the wind to be slower than it would be otherwise.
[41] The Westerlies play an important role in carrying the warm, equatorial waters and winds to the western coasts of continents,[42][43] especially in the southern hemisphere because of its vast oceanic expanse. It also explains that Windu is the creator and sole master of a style of lightsaber combat called Vaapad, in which the user skirts dangerously close to the dark side by enjoying the thrill of the fight.
[40] These western ocean currents transport warm, sub-tropical water polewards toward the polar regions.
Confirmed tornadoes with no reported damage (i.e., those that remain in open fields) are supposed to be rated EF0 as a matter of policy; however, some NWS local offices have adopted an "EFU" (for "unknown") rating for such tornadoes.[23]. "Winduwinda (QLD)".Aboriginal Tribes of Australia: Their Terrain, Environmental Controls, Distribution, Limits, and Proper Names. [128], Cattle and sheep are prone to wind chill caused by a combination of wind and cold temperatures, when winds exceed 40 kilometers per hour (25 mph), rendering their hair and wool coverings ineffective. Mace Windu is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, portrayed by actor Samuel L. Jackson in the prequel trilogy, who reprised his role in the 2008 animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, whilst Terrence C. Carson voiced the character in other projects, such as The Clone Wars television series. [51] Cool winds accelerating through mountain gaps have been given regional names. [46] As the temperature of the surface of the land rises, the land heats the air above it by conduction. [31], Wimdu continued its operations in Berlin despite 9flats shutting down its Berlin offices.

[93], For aerodynamic aircraft which operate relative to the air, winds affect groundspeed,[94] and in the case of lighter-than-air vehicles, wind may play a significant or solitary role in their movement and ground track. When winds become strong, trees and human-made structures are damaged or destroyed. This type of gas loss from a planet into space is known as planetary wind. [5] The gradient wind is similar to the geostrophic wind but also includes centrifugal force (or centripetal acceleration). Orographic precipitation occurs on the windward side of mountains and is caused by the rising air motion of a large-scale flow of moist air across the mountain ridge, also known as upslope flow, resulting in adiabatic cooling and condensation. High winds scour away thin soils through erosion,[123] as well as damage limbs and twigs. Windu counters that Palpatine controls the Senate and the courts, and is therefore too dangerous to be kept alive. Using a mechanical sandblaster in a laboratory setting, scientists affiliated with the Agricultural Research Service studied the effects of windblown sand abrasion on cotton seedlings. He was portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson as a Jedi Master in the prequel movies. [151], Rather than air, the solar wind is a stream of charged particles—a plasma—ejected from the upper atmosphere of the sun at a rate of 400 kilometers per second (890,000 mph). [58] Once winds exceed 135 knots (250 km/h), homes completely collapse, and significant damage is done to larger buildings. [72] Wind shear has a significant effect on the control of aircraft during take-off and landing,[73] and was a significant cause of aircraft accidents involving large loss of life within the United States.
The larger the WPD calculation, the higher it is rated by class. In Java, the local name for such winds is koembang. Even a soft wind will cause a low level of environmental noise. The solar wind creates the Heliosphere, a vast bubble in the interstellar medium surrounding the Solar System. Hot air balloons use the wind to take short trips, and powered flight uses it to increase lift and reduce fuel consumption. [7], Windu makes his final film appearance in the 2008 animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, set between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. In 2015, the most popu [67], Wind shear itself is a microscale meteorological phenomenon occurring over a very small distance, but it can be associated with mesoscale or synoptic scale weather features such as squall lines and cold fronts. The kinetic energy of a packet of air of mass m with velocity v is given by ½ m v2. To determine winds aloft, rawinsondes determine wind speed by GPS, radio navigation, or radar tracking of the probe. [54] In the Great Plains of the United States, these winds are known as a chinook. [168], Theoretical power captured by a wind turbine, CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (.
A rudimentary windmill was used to power an organ in the first century CE.
Windu and three other Jedi Masters; Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar and Saesee Tiin attempt to arrest Palpatine, but the Sith Lord easily has Windu left to duel alone. Windu gets the upper hand and subdues Palpatine by knocking away his lightsaber and deflecting the Sith Lord's Force lightning back at him, disfiguring Palpatine's body.
[9], Arne Bleckwenn and Hinrich Dreiling, the founders of Wimdu, previously founded and managed several other startups. The ancient Greeks also observed the seasonal change of the winds, as evidenced by the Tower of the Winds in Athens. [79] There are also four dvärgar (Norse dwarves), named Norðri, Suðri, Austri and Vestri, and probably the four stags of Yggdrasil, personify the four winds, and parallel the four Greek wind gods. [126], Wind can also cause plants damage through sand abrasion. [112] Since 1970, dust outbreaks have worsened because of periods of drought in Africa. In the first chapters, he defends the grasslands planet Dantooine against a large hovering "fortress", and over the course, he loses his lightsaber, forcing him to instead use a lethal form of unarmed combat powered by the Force. It is commonly observed near microbursts and downbursts caused by thunderstorms,[68] weather fronts, areas of locally higher low level winds referred to as low level jets, near mountains,[69] radiation inversions that occur because of clear skies and calm winds, buildings,[70] wind turbines,[71] and sailboats.
Their suspicions only grow when the Senate grants Palpatine a vote on the Jedi Council by appointing Anakin as his personal representative. [54][55][56], In August 2017, the company had 12,000 listings in Germany, compared to 160,000 for Airbnb. High winds are known to cause damage, depending upon the magnitude of their velocity and pressure differential.
[129] Although penguins use both a layer of fat and feathers to help guard against coldness in both water and air, their flippers and feet are less immune to the cold.
In Star Wars: The Clone Wars (set between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith), Mace Windu has a supporting role. The pilot must adjust the airspeed to deal with the effect of the gradient. [151] Other phenomena caused by the solar wind include geomagnetic storms that can knock out power grids on Earth,[154] the aurorae such as the Northern Lights,[155] and the plasma tails of comets that always point away from the sun. It takes into account wind velocity and mass. [46][47] Wimdu then filed a lawsuit against the law, arguing that the law illegally restricts the fundamental rights of hosts. The Saffir–Simpson scale and Enhanced Fujita scale were designed to help estimate wind speed from the damage caused by high winds related to tropical cyclones and tornadoes, and vice versa.[143][22]. [77], As a natural force, the wind was often personified as one or more wind gods or as an expression of the supernatural in many cultures.

The two main causes of large-scale atmospheric circulation are the differential heating between the equator and the poles, and the rotation of the planet (Coriolis effect).
