Therefore, a northeast wind will be depicted with a line extending from the cloud circle to the northeast, with flags indicating wind speed on the northeast end of this line. [5] Once plotted on a map, an analysis of isotachs (lines of equal wind speeds) can be accomplished ...
Windthrow is common in all forested parts of the world that experience storms or high wind speeds. The risk of windthrow to a tree is related to the tree's size (height and diameter), the 'sail area' presented by its crown, the anchorage provided by its roots, its exposure to the wind, and the local wind climate.
The modern version of tracing paper was developed for architects and design engineers to create drawings which could be copied precisely using the diazo copy process.
