The Eternal Flame Posted November 20, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Nov 19, 2019 Winds speed are getting faster worldwide, and that's good news for renewable energy production — at least for now. A study published yesterday in the journal Nature Climate Change finds that winds across much of North America, Europe and Asia have been growing faster since about 2010. *snip* Edited November 20, 2019 by Saru Removed broken link, click 'study' to view the study. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Desertrat56 Posted November 20, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I was taught years ago that the winds do get stronger when the ocean currents weaken. I couldn't get the link to show the story. Did it mention anything about the ocean currents? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was something that I was taught in college, the changes in winds are proportional to the changes in ocean currents. We illustrate that decadal-scale variations of near-surface wind are probably determined by internal decadal ocean–atmosphere oscillations, rather than by vegetation growth and/or urbanization as hypothesized previously. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habitat Posted November 22, 2019 #14 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I can recall reading a few years ago the average wind speed across the globe had been decreasing since the 1970's. I agree, my scientific experiments reveal that fewer items of clothing get tangled in the clothesline these days. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug1029 Posted November 22, 2019 #15 Share Posted November 22, 2019 The reversal was only nine years ago. That's not long enough, or enough data, to trust that it is going to continue. If it continues, it may cut into wind-generated power. That means more wind turbines to produce the same amount of electricity. I haven't had time to read up on perovskites, yet, but they may be able to make serious inroads into wind beginning next year. So changing wind speed may be irrelevant. What are the possibilities for biogas and biochar in fueling things like home heating? That could also have an effect on power generation.

Mello_ Posted November 22, 2019 #16 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Did you know that there is always a place on earth where wind doesnt blow? Thas so cool. Anyway my earliest memory in my life was looking and hearing wind how plays with leafs on one big tree during one hot sunshine day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to a junk site and you get junk data! Accelerated wind speeds are consistent with there being more storms, especially hurricanes. Both are the product of greater temperature gradients caused by one part of the world warming more than another. We all make a big deal of major storms, but there has also been an increase in small storms in the southern Great Plains. These small storms collectively discharge more energy than the less-frequent big ones. Doug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
