pierresansleloup : L origine des rafales de vent (Nov 14 2003 16:57 GMT) - Pourquoi le vent ne souffle-t-il pas toujours rgulirement ? Pourquoi y a-t-il des rafales de vent ? En fait, tant que la vitesse du vent n excde pas 20 kilomtres par heure, celui-ci se dplace avec rgularit. Si sa vitesse est suprieure 20 kilomtres par heure, le frottement du vent sur le sol cre des mouvements tourbillonnants qui le retardent localement et provoquent ensuite des rafales. A titre d exemple, si le vent souffle 60 kilomtres par heure, on peut enregistrer, par minute, 3 6 rafales de 100 kilomtres par heure. |

State Decision Could Restrict 4-Wheeler Routes Across Adirondacks (Nov 14 2003 16:57 GMT) - All-terrain vehicle groups say their sport is growing fast, with an estimated 300,000 4-wheelers in New York state. But a series of court decisions have made it difficult for local governments to open town and county roads to ATV traffic. Now, the state Department of Environmental Conservation says those rulings will also restrict the designation of new ATV routes in the Adirondack Park. As Brian Mann reports, the DEC policy is a major blow to ATV-enthusiasts hoping to develop a regional trail system. It could also lead to the closure of more than fifty roads that have already been opened in the western Adirondacks. |
