	AeroTech Research - Wake Vortex Atmospheric Profile Generation Algorithm
		The algorithm was developed to provide the meteorological profiles as inputs to the NASA Wake Vortex Advisory System (WakeVAS), which is in development.
		The algorithm uses a sliding statistics window within the region of interest to generate the profiles of the key meteorological parameters (wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and EDR).
		Quality measurements of static temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and eddy dissipation rate (EDR) for approach and departure corridors are not available for aircraft wake vortex measurement systems.

	4-1
		For example, atmospheric turbulence, wind, wind shears, thermal stratification, updrafts, and the proximity of the wake to the ground all affect wake vortex decay and motion.
		Although wake vortexes subside naturally as they move away from the aircraft, strong wake vortexes from landing aircraft have been known to rip tiles from roofs and have even broken the mast of a tall ship near the approach path of a landing aircraft.
		The decay rate and motion of a wake vortex are strongly affected by weather and other factors, which make its location, size, and strength difficult to predict.

	Lyke Wake Walk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lyke Wake Walk was started by a local farmer, Bill Cowley, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, England, in 1955.
		The walk took its name from the Lyke Wake Dirge, probably Yorkshire's oldest dialect verse, which takes its name from the watching (wake) over the corpse (lyke) The song tells of the soul's passage through the afterlife.
		He concentrated on the west to east route because the prevailing wind came from the west, in principle making it easier to walk with the wind on one's back and with the heather lying away from the walker.

	Amazon.ca: DVD: Reap the Wild Wind (Full Screen)
		Buy Reap the Wild Wind (Full Screen) with Wake Of The Red Witch today!
		Cecil B. DeMille's Technicolor historical spectacle Reap the Wild Wind was to have starred Gary Cooper, but Cooper's prior commitment to Goldwyn's Pride of the Yankees compelled DeMille to recast the leading role with John Wayne.
		It's like Gone with the Wind on the open sea, with the high-spirited Goddard (who had been a candidate for the role of Scarlett O'Hara) holding her own with her chest-thumping costars.

	Wind Energy Resource Atlas of the United States
		Wind power maps for the Pacific Islands are presented by island group - for Guam and the Marshalls ( Map 3-66), the northern Marianas ( Map 3-67), the Carolines and American Samoa ( Map 3-68), and the isolated islands of Midway, Wake, and Johnston ( Map 3-69).
		Prevailing strong winds at Livingston, Whitehall, and Cody are primarily from the southwest quadrant, in alignment with the orientation of the valley corridors.
		Average wind speeds may vary significantly from one ridge crest to another and are primarily influenced by the height and slope of the ridge, orientation to the prevailing winds, and the proximity of other mountains and ridges.

	Wake Vortex Behaviour in the Sheared Boundary Layer
		The influence of three-dimensional wind-shear layers (jets) on the transport and decay of a counter-rotating vortex pair is investigated by means of direct numerical simulation.
		The upstream vortex with vorticity opposing the vorticity of the upper shear layer of the jet starts to erode when it touches the upper flank of the turbulent jet, whereas the downstream vortex remains unaffected until it interacts with the lower shear layer below the jet maximum.
		Contrarily, mutually independent dissolution of each vortex is observed when the jet is turbulent.

	St. Thomas Wake
		Thomas Wake is the name of a pavan by the English composer John Bull, which appeared in Parthenia, the famous collection of music for virginals which was published in 1611.
		Thomas Wake Maxwell Davies has described as 'projection' of the pre-existing material (the pavan) 'through a progressive series of mathematical curves, which affect it much as, in visual terms, would distorting mirrors of systematically varying degrees of convexity and concavity'.
		Thomas Wake could, for instance, evoke the sinking of the Titanic, in which music and dancing reportedly continued in the ship's ballroom long after the impact with the iceberg.

		In the Court of the Crimson King (The Air album) - the sun is romantically intrigued by the moon in Moonchild and a relationship with the air element is described in I Talk To The Wind.
		Because Peter Sinfield was bothered enough by neo- Platonism to devote the title song of the second album to the subject, it is likely that he also made reference to neo-Platonism in the first album.

		Pig tweetered happily in agreement before Ron shoved one last owl treat in his mouth and pushed him out the window, whereupon he dropped several feet under the weight of the letter before finally catching wind under his wings and started flying haphazardly toward the Ravenclaw wing of the castle.
		Pig promptly dropped a letter on Ron's head and continued to flutter madly around the room, bouncing off random objects now and then, all the while, tweetering enthusiastically, apparently very happy he had woken Ron up.
		Ron lured Pig away from his bouncing reflection in Harry's glasses with some owl treats and tied the note to his small leg.

	Edric the Wild
		Within eighty years of the real Hereward's death, the Hereward of legend was in full cry, in the Estorie des Engles of Geoffrey Gaimar from around 1140, and the Gesta Herewardii Saxonis ('Deeds of Hereward the Saxon').
		This was a token of the apostle's gratitude for Hereward sparing the abbot and returning part of the treasure to the saint's own abbey of Peterborough.
		Then St Peter sent a wolf (St Peter animal) to show them the way, and as darkness fell, lighted candles appeared on every tree and on every man's shield, burning steadily no matter how the wind blew.

	Sakura Grove: Against the wind
		I struggle to keep my feet, and as the song "Against the Wind" runs through my head, I realize I'm dreaming.
		The wind picks up, and I'm eventually walking firmly against the wind and going nowhere.
		I'm grumpy and pissy, so I tell the dream to go screw itself and wake up.

		In the wake of Katrina, the director of Repent America, Michael Marcavage, said that "this act of God destroyed a wicked city".
		Most of the deaths occurred not as a result of falling debris but of the fires which broke out after gas-main breaks.
		"The notion that 100 million Americans think that the earth is less than 10,000 years old and was created in seven days by an all-powerful being is sort of mind-boggling."

	New Oz Film - Depleted Uranium Is Genocide Blowin' In The Wind
		The cleverly produced documentary is a wake-up call to Australians, exposing the dreadful, horrible, inhuman use of the material known as Depleted Uranium, (DU), as a projectile warhead, on all manner of arsenal and weaponry, being used to annihilate nations around the world.
		I have just had the distinct privilege of viewing the Australian short film documentary titled Blowin in the Wind,.
		The film is considered to be suitable for 15 plus, however, outside the ugliness in the scenes of maiming and disfigurement, there is nothing which is beyond the comprehension of early teen-agers and I would thoroughly recommend the whole family view what is after all, real life, real time, everybody should know, type drama.

	CoffeeWaffle
		I did wake during the night when some big wind gusts began rocking the van on its suspension, and for just a half awake moment I thought I was at sea on a boat.
		I was hoping to see some snow left over from the cold snap last week but the rain has all but was it away.
		So now that I've spent the night in it, and travelled over 500km in it, the van has lost that new car smell and feels like home (away from home).

		While most coffee workers are found slaving away on plantations, the majority of producers of cafn Nicaragua are small farmers with a little land.
		His annual income comes out to $460 a year, which means that the Disneyland vacation he was planning for his kids is going to have to be put on hold along with their shoes, their education and the pills they need to get those worms out of their stomach.
		Instead of sinking those dollars into coffee produced under serf-like conditions, we have the option to purchase cups of the black elixir that were harvested under more humane terms.

	Feature Artist - July '98 - SAVATAGE
		Turned by the wind of the storm, "From a journey to nowhere toward a soul on the ocean/ From the wake of Magellan to Magellan's wake." As Hector is giving up he hears a "whisper" and sees "there in the waves was a man.
		The title song, "The Wake of Magellan," is about the deckhand's jumbled thoughts on what he's witnessed.
		With their 9th release on Atlantic Records (the 14th in their epic 16 year career), "Savatage" has once again proven that a hard rock/metal edge band can create something new and exciting with each album they release, and is firmly at the forefront of the symphonic/progressive hard rock genre.

	EX: Review - Manga - Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind
		Nausicaä is different from other people because she has a empathic bond with the environment, and with the race of giant insects called the Ohmu that have evolved in the wake of the ecological disaster that swept the Earth.
		From one of these periphery states, the Valley of Wind, comes a gentle young princes named Nausicaä.
		In this pocket of unpolluted land exists two large kingdoms: The Dorok Empire and the Kingdom of Torumekia with the Autonomous States of the Periphery adjacent to it.

	Park Effect
		As we saw in the previous section on the wake effect, each wind turbine will slow down the wind behind it as it pulls energy out of the wind and converts it to electricity.
		As a rule of thumb, turbines in wind parks are usually spaced somewhere between 5 and 9 rotor diameters apart in the prevailing wind direction, and between 3 and 5 diameters apart in the direction perpendicular to the prevailing winds.
		With knowledge of the wind turbine rotor, the wind rose, the Weibull distribution and the roughness in the different directions manufacturers or developers can calculate the energy loss due to wind turbines shading one another.

	MIT Lincoln Laboratory - AVOSS
		The primary mechanisms that allow for reduced aircraft spacing for wake avoidance are the movement of the wake out of the path of the following aircraft, either due to the normal sinking of the wake or due to advection by the wind, and the decay of the wake due to such factors as ground effects.
		The AWAS is an automated algorithm that takes wind profile measurements from several sensors, each of which have varying updates rates, data collection periods, resolutions, and data quality.
		To account for these differences, a statistical technique based on the Gauss-Markov Theorem is used compute the profile of wind values.

	Squalls!
		But if the rain comes after the wind, then the squall is already over and you're in for a period of calm in the squall's wake." "So how can we use all this to advantage during the race?" we asked.
		The biggest squalls of all are the ones that hit just before dawn." "So you'd think," Lee continued, "that the wind field around a squall would be a strong outward flow of cold air, from the downrush column hitting the surface and spreading out in all directions.
		The squall behaves like a strong downrush of air, fanning out from a point right under the clouds, adding to the average wind in front and subtracting from the wind in back." "Except when it doesn't," said the racer/pilot.
