	NWTC: About the Program - Wind Resource - Wind Energy Potential (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Maps of the area (percentage of land area) distribution of the wind resource digitized in grid cells of 1/4 latitude by 1/3 longitude (Figure 1 and 2) show that exposed areas with moderate to high wind resource are dispersed throughout much of the contiguous United States.
		The land area exposed to the wind for each grid cell was estimated based on a landform classification and ranged from 90% for relatively flat terrain down to 5% for mountainous terrain.
		A study in 1991[2] used a variety of land exclusion scenarios to estimate the available windy land and resultant wind electric potential for several levels of wind resource, both for the contiguous United States as a whole and for each of the 48 contiguous states.

	The Problem of Wind Erosion
		Wind erosion is a threat to the sustainability of the land as well as the viability and quality of life for rural as well as urban communities.
		Wind erosion in the United States is most widespread on agricultural land in the Great Plains states.
		Wind erosion is also a serious problem on cultivated organic soils, sandy coastal areas, alluvial soils along river bottoms, and other areas in the United States.

	EPA - Clean Energy - Land Resource Use
		Land around wind turbines can be used for other purposes, such as the grazing of cattle or farming.
		When wind turbines are removed from land, there are no solid wastes or fuel residues left behind.
		However, large wind farms pose aesthetic concerns and wind turbines that are improperly installed or landscaped may create soil erosion problems.

	Land and the wind for sailing. Winds activity near the land. Sea breeze and wind patterns.
		Winds coming off the land will always be more unpredictable and difficult to handle than those coming to you over open water.
		Another extremely important thing you have to reckon is that lake winds and sea (ocean) winds are very different, their nature is dissimilar; that explains why experienced ocean sailors sometimes get confused at lake sailing and vice-versa.
		The wind patterns are extremely complicated - they are influenced and related to many things, and they at their turn influence many things on the planet.

	Wind
		Wind told the grasses and the earth beneath of the places of tall trees, reaching for the sun.
		And so wind carries the seed of the trees to many places, and when these children are grown, he returns their seed to the place of their grandparents, so the trees pass stories of the world between themselves.
		Wind spoke to the water and Tethys of the deep told wind of the wonders of the world.

	Energy Justice Network: Harvesting the Wind (Worldwatch Institute article)
		One of the attractions of wind energy is that the turbines scattered across a farm or ranch do not interfere with the use of the land for farming or cattle grazing.
		The wind meteorologist who identifies the best sites for turbines is playing a role in the emerging new energy economy comparable to that of the petroleum geologist in the old energy economy.
		Aside from the economic benefits of wind energy, political interest is being spurred by a steady diet of news stories about the possible effects of global warming, including record heat waves and droughts, melting glaciers, and rising sea levels.

	wind energy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Acknowledged for being the fastest growing energy source in the world, wind power effectively produces electricity without detrimental externalities such as air emissions, cooling water, pollution, waste, and storage.
		Despite wind energy's minor disadvantages including noise pollution, poor aesthetics, need for land, and expenses, wind powered electricity should be implemented in all suitable areas.
		Because wind energy power is one of the most promising and cost-effective renewable energy technologies available today, suitable areas in Texas, California, and Colorado should be forced to use this renewable source.

	U.S. to study land-based wind farms (October 23, 2003)
		The U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which controls more than 261 million acres of government land, recently announced it will conduct a two-year "programmatic" environmental impact statement in western states to assess common issues and concerns associated with wind farm development.
		Ray Brady, manager of lands and realty for the Bureau of Land Management in Washington, D.C., said the purpose of this approach is not to slow down or halt the permitting process, but to manage project reviews more efficiently.
		Cape Wind president James Gordon commended BLM's decision to move forward with the programmatic review, noting it will make "the review of the next round of on-shore renewable projects both quicker and less costly.

		Wind energy is an obvious choice, as a large number of sites in the country are suitable for harvesting wind.
		It is regrettable that PPS22 does not refer to common land nor the requirement for consent under section 194 of the Law of Property Act 1925 (to be replaced by section 38 of the forthcoming Commons Act 2006).
		This is directly relevant to common land because importance is placed on the forms and pattern of the landscape, and the unique character of common land fits this criterion.

	Land Breezes: begin with the cooling of low-level air
		On clear, calm evenings, temperature differences between a body of water and neighboring land produce a cool wind that blows offshore.
		Land breezes are strongest along the immediate coastline but weaken considerably further inland.
		Since the air over land cools more rapidly than the air over water, a temperature difference is established, with cooler air present over land and relatively warmer air located over water.

		An interesting result is that it is possible to map land use on the basis of the temporal behavior of land cover.
		Wind can be estimated using meteorological sensors (eg METEOSAT) that output images every 30 minutes, thus making it possible to capture the apparent air displacement.

		Kiarostami's sense of humor feels as dry as the countryside he depicts; the film is in many regards a comedy.
		Indeed, having switched from cosmic long shot to more humanizing medium shot once the Engineer (Behzad Dourani) arrives in Siah Dareh, Kiarostami spends considerable time establishing the village's baffling geography—the steep, whitewashed maze of alleys and courtyards that are terraced into the hillside.
		The Wind Will Carry Us is a film about nothing and everything—life, death, the quality of light on dusty hills.
