The Tehuanowind is a north to northeasterly wind which periodically blows across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in southern Mexico . The wind is stronger than the trade wind s which normally blow here. Citation needed date September 2009 It is notable for causing a pronounced increase in upwelling of cooler, nutrient rich waters in the Gulf of Tehuantepec on the Pacific coast which in turn supports an abundance of sea life. The wind and upwelling are together referred to as a Tehuano event . The Tehuano is caused by a surge of cooler, drier air originating from the North American continent. Such surges are more common in the winter, but may occur at other times of the year as well. This air is denser than the tropical air mass normally present in the region, thus a strong pressure gradient is established which induces the wind. The wind is further accelerated by the funneling effect of the Chivela Pass between the Bay of Campeche and the Pacific coastlines. ref name bourassa cite web url http coaps.fsu.edu bourassa pubs tpec HW tpec HW.shtml title Non Inertial Flow in NSCAT Observations of Tehuantepec Winds accessdate 2011 03 26 ref The same conditions are the cause of the Papagayo wind off the coast of Costa Rica and the Panama wind further south.

The Papagayo wind is a north to northeasterly wind which periodically blows through the gap in the mountain ranges of Central America in which Lake Nicaragua is located. It is named for the Gulf of Papagayo on the Pacific coast in this region. The wind is stronger than the trade winds which normally blow here. It is notable for causing a pronounced increase in upwelling of cooler, nutrient rich waters on the Pacific coast which in turn supports an abundance of sea life. The wind and upwelling are together referred to as a Papagayo event . The Papagayo is caused by a surge of cooler, drier air originating from the North American continent. Such surges are more common in the winter, but may occur at other times of the year as well. This air is denser than the tropical air mass normally present in the region, thus a strong pressure gradient is established which induces the wind.

Definition of apparent wind The Apparent wind is the wind experienced by an observer in motion and is the relative velocity of the wind in relation to the observer. Apparent wind velocity is the vector sum of the true wind and the headwind an object would experience in still air. The headwind velocity in still air is Additive inverse inverse of the object s velocity, therefore the apparent wind can also be defined as a vector subtraction the Velocity of the wind minus the Velocity of the object . A simple example Suppose you are riding a bicycle on a day when there is no wind. Although the wind ... that you are moving through the air. This is the apparent wind. On the windless day, the apparent wind will always be directly in front and equal in speed to the speed of the bicycle. Now suppose there is a 5 mph wind coming directly from the north. If you pedal at 10 mph due north, you will feel an apparent wind of 15 mph from the north. But if you pedal 10 mph due south, you will feel an apparent wind of 5 mph from the south. The apparent wind is not only different in speed than the true wind, but also different in direction. In these simple examples, the motion is parallel to the true wind which makes it easy to calculate of apparent wind. When the motion is not parallel to the wind, one must use vectors and trigonometry to calculate apparent wind. Apparent wind in sailing In sailing , the apparent wind is the actual flow of air acting upon a sail . It is the wind as it appears to the sailor on a moving vessel. It differs in speed and direction from the true wind that is experienced by a stationary observer. In nautical terminology , these properties of the apparent wind are normally ...

Orphan date February 2009 A Wind Transducer is a device used by sailors to receive a real time measurement of wind speed and direction. A wind transducer is usually mounted on the masthead of a sailboat and is occasionally used by power boats too. The wind speed and direction measurements are more critical to sail boats than to power boats. Sailors rely on the wind speed and direction to help with navigation and pilotage . These devices can be calibrated to measure the true wind speed and the apparent wind speed speed that a sailor would feel . Sail boats can sail at max 45 degrees close to the wind and will sail faster on a reach than when at closest to the wind. Wind Transducers are usually wired to the cock or head though wireless versions are becoming steadily more popular due to the reduced installation time required.

A meteorology climatological wind atlas covers hourly averages at a standard height 10 meter over even longer periods 30 years . But depending on the application there are variations in averaging time, height and period. Application A wind atlas is employed when pre selecting wind farm sites. The required data include 10 minute averaged wind at heights between 30 and 100 meter over a 10 to 20 year period. Examples At least one wind atlas covers the globe, and other wind atlases cover the EU12 countries and the Europe an offshore regions.
