| Another group of local winds is induced by the presence of mountain and valley features on Earth's surface. |
|
| The waves in the Strait are generated by local winds originating from westerly or easterly directions, with the westerly being dominant. |
|
| This region is one of the windiest in Canada with persistent and intense local winds, frequents storms and long fetches of more than 1000 km. |
|
| There are several types of winds: regional flows related to the fields of pressure and local winds. |
|
| The Saguenay River Valley, which runs east to west in the area, has a major impact on the local winds. |
|
| Water movements near shore are strongly affected by tidal motions and surface water runoff variations, as well as local winds. |
|
| Pilots also noted that they look to see if the local winds are increasing or decreasing. |
|
| Strong local winds make the passage additionally dangerous. |
|
| On a smaller scale are the local winds, systems that are associated with specific geographic locations and reflect the influence of topographic features. |
|
| Localised surface heating, combined with the absence of trees and open landscapes, may produce high local winds and high-velocity vortices or dust devils. |
|
| We welcome you to Tarifa and discover with us the passion of kite surf, learning to dominate the local winds from east and west, skimming over the sea, at our kitesurfing school. |
|
| When directly generated and affected by local winds, a wind wave system is called a wind sea. |
|
| Local winds exert a pronounced influence on local climate and are themselves affected by local weather conditions. |
|
| Local winds are often monitored for a year or more, and detailed wind maps constructed before wind generators are installed. |
