1. Wind currents and cloud cover always played havoc with our helicopters. 2. As they rose, they hit another wind current, which drove them back north, allowing the balloons to circle the grounds. 3. Bald eagles were catching the wind currents, and a black-footed albatross scavenged along the beach. 4. A pilot cannot steer a balloon but can only move it up or down in search of wind currents that will take the balloon in the desired direction. 5. Carmody defined shear layer as changing air masses that result in shifting wind currents. 6. Condors prefer living on high ledges to catch the rising wind currents and to take advantage of nesting caves in the rocky crags. 7. From March to June of each year, wind currents slash down from Siberia and collide with northbound airflows from the Tibetan plateau. 8. Not surprisingly, wind currents affect the ride, which is sort of like being on the ocean in a large boat. 9. Some move with people, some stow away in cargoes of fruit, some even catch long-distance rides on wind currents and ocean waves. 10. Summer wind currents blow chaff clear across the Valley, settling out at about the McDowell Mountains. |
