Fetch length

Long lake, with a fetch of 10 km, is exposed to various wind speeds. On a cold day in fall, the water temperature at 10°C has not cooled yet, but the air temperature is at -5°C. The relative humidity is 100%. Compute the gas him coefficient for water vapor at various wind fetch lengths for wind speeds at 2 m height, between 2 and 20 m/s. 

The data contained in Figures 9.4, 9.5, and 9.8 indicate similarity against wind velocity, even though the fetch length and size of the water bodies are different. 

Abbreviations Si - single-wire, Cr - crossed-wire, Sp - spectrum measurements with respect to the canopy type and fetch length. 

As a function of the fetch length of the wind over the free Baltic Sea, frequently an apparent strengthening of the mean wind occurs in the western and southern Baltic Sea with winds blowing from east to north, and in the central Baltic Sea with southwest winds. 

The data contained in Figures 9.7, 9.8, and 9.11 indicate similarity against wind velocity, even though the fetch length and size of the water bodies are different. This is generally seen as an indication that wind is an important driving factor for lakes, estuaries, and oceans. It has been shown that breaking waves and water surface slicks are important (Asher and Wanninkhof, 1998), and there are other parameters such as... 

The theoretical concentration in air downwind of an area source as a function of the roughness length and atmospheric stability has been given by Wilson (1982). Shinn et al. found z0 = 0.02 m at the Nevada site. The dimensionless concentration u Xi/Q from (6.25) is 8.3, and this would agree with Wilson s calculations for average (neutral) stability if the fetch of wind over the source of resuspended dust was 10 km. 

It is not too far-fetched to expect also a relation with y and/or the correlation length because the negative pressure reigns in the interfacial region, tesiring the molecules apart and increasing the molar volume. It is known that y decreases with T, whereas Increases. It now appears that the quotient... 

A two-dimensional model is required for the wind running onto a forest edge or onto a finite-length fetch (green belts or shelterbelts). In this case, the significant two-dimensional transformation of the air flow takes place from the entry towards the downstream region, where the flow adjusts to an equilibrium state (1.4). A suitable mathematical model uses partial differential equations [155] ... 

Northwest and northeast situations are therefore of greatest importance for the formation of a Baltic Sea storm surge in the western Baltic Sea because the strength and the path length of the wind over the free water surface of the Baltic Sea, that is, the fetch, are the crucial properties. 

Fetch The fetch is the length of a wind field, in which the direction and speed of the wind are approximately constant (see Fig. 7.6). This is the part of the sea surface on which the wind transmits its energy and thus causes wave growth. 

If the development of the sea state starts during offshore winds leeward of the coasts, the wave heights will increase in the direction of the open sea (see Fig. 7.5), and the fetch is calculated from the distance to the coast. In this context, it should be noted that the dimensions of the wind field must be such that the width of the field must be at least equal to its length (Quandt, 1980). In the Baltic Sea, such conditions are found only for easterly winds off the coast of the Baltic states and for southerly winds off the Polish coast. 

In the western Baltic Sea, the cyclone reached its maximum wind force in the evening of January 8, 2005, when the center of the depression was located over Sweden. The wind direction (WSW) was parallel to a line between the Lubeck Bay and the Arkona MARNET Station, that is, in an optimum direction for a fetch of maximum length in this sea area. Wind and sea state measurements are available from the Darss SiU and ArkonaBasin stations (see also Fig. 7.25). Wind speed measured at a height of 10 m was approximately identical at both stations and was about 20 m/s (39 kn) for almost 24 h. The maximum value was approx. 24 m/s (47 kn) and remained at this level at Arkona for 6 h with only slight changes in wind direction. 

In 1774, Benjamin Franklin reported this observation to the Royal Society At length at Clapman -where there is, on the common, a large pond, which I observed to be one day very rough with the wind, 1 fetched...

The last entry to the stack is fetched if the current chain has reached its maximal length iV, or if we prune it. Pruning (the opposite of enrichment) is done when the current weight has dropped below some lower threshold W. If this happens, a random number with prob r = 0 =prob = 1 = 1 /2 is drawn. If = 1, we keep the chain but double its weight. If not, it is discarded ( pruned ), and one continues with the last entry on the stack. If the stack is empty, a new chain is started. When the latter happens, one says a new tour is started. Chains within one tour are correlated, but chains from different tours are uncorrelated. 

An extensive behavioural verification of the SiLAGE specification is required, either by simulation or by emulation. Our compiled-code simulator S2C efficiently simulates at a high level using floating-point precision, or at the bit-true level where the exact finite word-length specifications are taken into account. The Silage description may contain high-level functions such as an FFT, an absolute value, a mean calculation or a division. For these functions, bit-true behavioural simulation models have to be fetched from the framework LIB to ensure consistency with the architectural implementation models.
