| The air pressure differences you hear about on the nightly news are part of the global wind engine. |
|
| This global engine leads to global wind patterns, with areas of predictable flow and areas of predictable calm. |
|
| Unlike westerlies and trade winds, the polar easterlies are not a global wind belt. |
|
| In fact, China accounted for the largest national expansion in the global wind energy market. |
|
| Figure 3 shows the latitudinal variation of precipitation and evaporation and their gross relation to the global wind belts. |
|
| They then used models of global wind circulation to deduce which dust sources have become stronger and which weaker. |
|
| But in all these cases we really need to act very quickly if Canada is going to get its part of the growing global wind energy boom. |
|
| This underscores the need for Canada to rethink its procurement processes to improve our ability to compete for global wind energy investment. |
|
| The merger is coming at a time when the global wind industry is growing, albeit fitfully. |
|
| Because the Pacific is such an enormous reservoir of heat, it is the main engine driving the global wind pattern. |
|
| At the same time, new names are appearing on the leader-board of the global wind energy industry. |
|
| It is estimated that between now and 2020, more than 2 million jobs will be created in the global wind energy industry, many of them in manufacturing and export. |
|
| This is because, overall, due to global wind patterns and a cold climate, many more pollutants arrive in Canada by air and remain here than leave from here by air. |
|
| The global wind energy market continues to expand. |
|
| This is a conservative assumption because it would still leave wind costs higher than they were three years ago, before a global wind turbine shortage caused a spike in wind turbine prices. |
|
| They are caused by a complex interplay of various factors, including rapid shifts in global wind patterns, slower variations in ocean conditions, and seasonal changes in the amount of sunshine. |
|
| This atmospheric warming is expected to be greatest at middle and high latitudes and it will be accompanied by significant alterations in global wind and precipitation patterns. |
|
| Response: Even a modest warming of global temperatures would significantly change global wind and precipitation patterns, and hence alter local weather behaviour around the world from that which we are used to. |
|
| The fact that local and Québec based entities were responsible for the technology adaptations illustrates how Canadian skills and expertise can contribute to the rapidly growing global wind energy industry. |
|
| This Global Wind Power report includes an in-depth analysis of the major industry players such as Acciona, Gamesa, Vestas, and many others. |

|
|
| According to the Global Wind Energy Council, the development of wind energy in China, in terms of scale and rhythm, is absolutely unparalleled in the world. |
