1.   Patterns of air pressure, surface winds and sea surface temperatures are all interlinked.

2.   The surface winds are fairly light, but from time to time can raise dust.

3.   And brisk surface winds must be blowing into the storm.

4.   As the March sun warms the ground, currents of rising and sinking air mix the lower atmosphere, blending momentum from fast winds aloft with slower surface winds.

5.   At the same time, strong surface winds from the southwest in International Falls pushed the mercury upward.

6.   A new world record for highest surface wind gust may have been set at Guam on Tuesday.

7.   A service spokesman said surface wind measurements do not reflect how strong winds thousands of feet up might have been.

8.   By day, currents of rising and sinking air, incited by solar heating, mix momentum from fast winds aloft with weaker surface winds.

9.   Extreme surface wind speeds are usually estimated by an engineering analysis of the kinds of structural damage that occurred.

10.   High pressure building into British Columbia will cause the surface winds to blow offshore from San Francisco to the Columbia River.
