The passenger was not wearing a seatbelt; according to the NTSB accident brief (Brief of Accident). Wind Shear Wind shear is a sudden drastic change in wind speed and direction that generally

I. INTRODUCTION A key objective of smart grid efforts is to substantially increase the penetration of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind. As per the Solar Mission under the National Action Plan on Climate Change, the central government of India plans to generate up to 20 GW grid-based solar power, and cover 20 million square metres with solar energy collectors by 2020[1]. However land acquisition is a challenge to solar farm projects in India, hence there is a need to utilize residential

of 1991, many a crew of several different fishing ships left their port for their final haul. Little did they know that they would soon cross paths with one of the greatest storms ever recorded. This particular storm would create huge swells, high winds, and hard rain. The system was said to be a “perfect storm” because all of the elements were just right to create the worst imaginable storm ever seen claimed some meteorologists. Such a storm left little room for rescue if one’s boat got into trouble

A good writer’s depiction of setting positions the reader right into the story. In "To Build a Fire" by Jack London, the setting plays a significant role throughout the entire short story.  London uses certain techniques to establish the atmosphere of the story.  By introducing his readers to the setting, prepares them for a tone that is depressed and frightening.  Isolated by the hostile environment of the Yukon in sub-freeing temperatures, a man falls victim to the unrelenting and unforgiving power

The Santa Ana winds obviously mean a great deal to Didion and Thomas which is why they regard it as sort of a powerful force in nature. In The Santa Ana by Joan Didion, the wind is portrayed as a force that deprives people of happiness. This concept is highlighted when she states that “ to live with the Santa Anna is to accept . . . a deeply mechanistic view of human behavior.” In Brush Fire by Linda Thomas, it is portrayed more like a normal power of nature. Her concept is highlighted when she

A Man’s Best Friend One day I was playing soccer with my friend and his dog outside of his house. All of a sudden his dog ran inside. I asked my friend what was the matter, why did he he just run inside? My friend explained to me that his dog is able to sense when bad weather is going to come. I told him it doesn’t look like bad weather is coming though, the sun is still out. He then responded by saying “you’ll see; his instinct is never wrong.” Nevertheless, later that day it did thunderstorm. My

The analysis of available data shows a significantly increasing trend in billion-dollar disasters. The economic impact of hurricanes is huge and there is a need to improve the resiliency and the sustainability of the built environment under extreme wind events, to protect our citizens and to reduce the massive economic losses brought by hurricanes. The purpose of this project is to significantly reduce devastating hurricane effects on infrastructure by implementing solutions to provide strategic guidance

area. I have storm chased many times in my life so this was not much different than other storms. The real difference was that this was in my neck of the woods. Radar indicated a particularly strong bow echo headed into the area, with straight line winds ranging from 50-70mph. I had decided to drive out just really to see the lightning storm from a distance, not terribly far from my home at the time, just south of Atwater, MN. I convinced my partner at the time to join me, as we both like watching

The first mind trap problem concerned an A-shaped roof. We were supposed to figure out what would happen if wind was blowing with equal force on both sides of the roof, and a rooster were to lay an egg on the point at the top. Would the egg roll down the north side? Or the south? Initially, we didn 't have the faintest idea how to solve the question. At first we thought that the southern wind wouldn’t be able to push the egg at the top of the roof because it was an updraft, then we looked up how updrafts
