The wind gradient can create a large bending moment in the shaft of a two bladed turbine when... The reduced wind gradient over water means shorter and less expensive wind turbine towers can be used in shallow... simulating the wind gradient that they will eventually see... wind gradient affects the takeoff and landing phases of flight of a... Wind gradient can have a noticeable effect on... If the wind gradient is significant or sudden... wind gradient is also a hazard... As the glider descends through the wind gradient on final approach to landing... The pilot must anticipate the wind gradient and use a higher approach speed to compensate for it... Wind gradient is also a hazard for aircraft making steep turns near the ground... The effect of wind gradient can be factored into the selection of twist in the sail design... this can be difficult to predict since the wind gradient may vary widely in different weather conditions... the wind gradient is even more important... Wind gradient can have a pronounced effect upon sound propagation in the lower atmosphere... Higher values of wind gradient will refract sound downward toward the surface in the downwind direction... There will usually be both a wind gradient and a temperature gradient... The wind gradient and the temperature gradient can also have complex interactions... If the wind gradient is of sufficient magnitude... Effect of wind gradient on the trajectory synthesis algorithms of the Center... the shear wind gradient is rather weak... both the wind gradient and the mean wind profile itself can usually be described diagnostically by the log wind... would be preferable to evaluate windmills in the wind gradient that they will eventually see...
