1. The document examines wind patterns around Rishiri Island, Japan using SAR and weather data. It finds evidence of low-level jets forming in the lee of the island under stable atmospheric conditions. 2. The winds are classified into four types based on 115 SAR images. The classification depends on a non-dimensional mountain height parameter and stratification. 3. Strong wind streaks are sometimes observed extending from headlands in Hokkaido under stratified southerly flows. Layer-dependent orographic forcing from the headlands may explain the coexistence of gap winds and wind streaks.

The Role of Air sea forcing on the variability of Mixed Layer Depth ( MLD) in...
This seminar presentation discusses the role of air-sea forcing on the variability of mixed layer depth and hydrography in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. The presentation includes two case studies and discusses variables like near surface winds, incoming shortwave radiation, freshwater flux, and their impact on mixed layer depth, sea surface temperature, and salinity. Sensitivity experiments were performed using an ocean circulation model to analyze the influence of winds, shortwave radiation, and freshwater flux on these regions. The results show that winds and shortwave radiation have the greatest influence on mixed layer depth and sea surface temperature, particularly during summer months.

The status of all projects is reported as "Submitted", with two ongoing projects investigating phosphorite deposits beginning in March 2015 and August 2015 respectively.
Adequacy Check of Existing Crest Level of Sea Facing Coastal Polders by the E...
The coastal embankment system has been gradually built during the last 40 years. The embankments
were originally designed to increase agricultural production by preventing salt water intrusion not to protect
against cyclonic storms. The alignment of the embankments did not consider the changing conditions in
bathymetry of the sea and thalweg migration of the rivers and therefore many embankments are located under
tidal water level and have severe toe and slope erosion problems during the monsoon season. The crest level
and embankment cross sections have not optimized the protection of hinterland and the embankment itself and
therefore the embankments typically only provide protection for the cyclones with 5-12 year return periods and
the designed crest level of the sea facing coastal polder equal to the sum of normal maximum recorded water
stage plus 1.50m. In this study to estimate the design crest level and side slope for sea facing embankment have
been established based on maximum storm surge level, wave run-up for cyclonic wave, freeboard allowing 5
l/m/s overtopping ,potential climate change impact and land subsidence. Statistical analysis of surge level and
wave run-up is carried out using Extreme Value Analysis (EVA) in MIKE Zero.
Sea Level Changes as recorded in nature itself
This document summarizes research on sea level changes as recorded through field observations and geological records. It makes three key points:
1) Sea level has risen about 120 meters since the last glacial maximum and the rise has occurred through oscillations, not steadily. The maximum rate of sea level rise was about 10 mm/yr as the last ice age ended.
2) Sea level records from locations around the world show oscillations continuing throughout the Holocene and up to the present, contradicting claims of a steady rise recently.
3) Present rates of sea level rise are between 0-2 mm/yr based on tide gauge data and estimates of land movement. Claims of much higher rises are not supported by field evidence

Introducton to Indian Ocean Dipole
The Indian Ocean Dipole is a climate pattern characterized by a difference in sea surface temperatures between the western and eastern poles of the Indian Ocean. During a positive dipole event, sea surface temperatures are warmer than average in the western pole and cooler than average in the eastern pole. This difference is driven by ocean-atmosphere interactions involving winds, thermocline depth, and heat fluxes. The Indian Ocean Dipole affects rainfall in surrounding regions like eastern Africa, Indonesia, and Australia. While sometimes related to El Niño events in the Pacific, the dipole can also occur independently and intensify the impacts of El Niño on regional climate.

Upper san fernando dam
This document provides background information on the 1971 San Fernando earthquake and its effects on the Upper and Lower San Fernando Dams. It summarizes previous research studies on the dams and describes how the earthquake caused liquefaction and failures at the dams. Specifically, it caused a major failure on the upstream side of the Lower Dam, while the Upper Dam experienced downstream movement of about 2 meters. The document then outlines a numerical analysis of the Upper Dam using GeoStudio software to better understand the observed behavior during the earthquake.
Introduction to Indian ocean dipole
The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is a phenomenon characterized by sustained changes in sea surface temperature differences between the western and eastern tropical Indian Ocean. A positive IOD phase occurs when temperatures in the western Indian Ocean are warmer than usual and temperatures in the eastern Indian Ocean are cooler than usual. This leads to drought conditions in Indonesia and heavy rainfall and flooding in eastern Africa. The intensity of the IOD is represented by the Dipole Mode Index (DMI), which measures the anomalous sea surface temperature gradient between the western and eastern tropical Indian Ocean. While the IOD and El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are both ocean-atmosphere coupled phenomena, they are independent of each other.
Behavior of ocean eddies in the Southern Ocean
The document summarizes research on ocean eddies and circulation in the Southern Ocean. It discusses:
1) How baroclinic eddies drive residual meridional overturning circulation in the Southern Ocean through "thickness diffusion", counteracting wind-driven circulation.
2) Evidence that the transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is "saturated" and insensitive to changes in wind forcing, due to prevailing baroclinic instability.
3) Observations of multidecadal warming and poleward shift of boundaries in the Southern Ocean, attributed mainly to shifts in Antarctic Circumpolar Current fronts rather than along-frontal warming.
1 refraction seismology 1-16
This document discusses refraction seismology, which is a method used to map geologic structures by analyzing the arrival times of seismic head waves that travel through subsurface layers. It provides definitions and references for further reading on refraction seismology and seismic methods. The document also compares refraction seismology to reflection seismology, noting that refraction uses initial seismic arrivals while reflection analyzes later arriving reflected seismic energy to image subsurface structures and boundaries between layers with different seismic velocities.
Monitoring ocean currents using satellite sensors
Satellite sensors are able to estimate ocean surface currents through several methods using data on sea surface height, winds, and tracking ocean features, though direct measurement is not possible. The most direct method uses altimetry data to calculate geostrophic currents from sea surface height gradients combined with vector wind data to estimate Ekman currents. Validation comes from drifter arrays, while general circulation models incorporate satellite data to improve representation of ocean dynamics. Additional experimental methods seek to use synthetic aperture radar Doppler shifts or feature tracking in satellite imagery.
3D Seismic Refraction
This document summarizes a study applying 3D seismic refraction traveltime tomography to characterize shallow subsurface geology at a groundwater contamination site. The study area is a 95x40 meter region over an aquifer contaminated with dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs). The goal is to image subsurface velocity structure and identify a paleochannel that acts as a trap for DNAPLs. Traveltime tomography was used to invert over 187,000 first-arrival times and obtain a 3D velocity model showing a north-south trending low-velocity feature interpreted as the paleochannel, which agrees with over 100 existing well logs. The model provides 7.5-10 meter lateral resolution to a depth of 15 meters.
Overview of Satellite Radar Altimetry
This document discusses satellite radar altimetry and its use in measuring sea level. Satellite radar altimetry works by measuring the time it takes for a radar pulse to travel from the satellite to the ocean surface and back. This allows the satellite to calculate the distance to the sea surface and determine sea level when combined with information about the satellite's orbit and position. Multiple satellite missions since 1992 have collected sea level measurements globally every 10 days and found that global mean sea level has been rising over the past few decades. Resources for further information on satellite altimetry and sea level are also provided.
Hydro2016
The document discusses using satellite altimetry to derive ocean bathymetry. It describes how sea surface height measurements from altimetry can be used to calculate gravity anomalies, which are then related to seafloor topography through inverse modeling. Specifically, it outlines using data from Cryosat-2, Jason-1 and other satellites in both LRM and new SAR imaging modes. Results show improved bathymetric maps produced from the SAR data compared to existing databases. Ongoing work involves further optimizing the local calculation methods and taking advantage of the higher resolution SAR data.

Networks of seismic instruments could reliably monitor a comprehensive nuclear test ban by detecting underground explosions as small as one kiloton. Even without identifying unique seismic signatures of explosions, over 90% of detected seismic events can be classified as earthquakes based on their location under oceans or at depths greater than 30km. Remaining events of interest are further analyzed using the different wave types and energy distributions generated by explosions versus earthquakes to achieve high confidence in verification of compliance with a total test ban.
Coriolis force and winds of the atmosphere -Climatology Chapter
The Coriolis force causes apparent deflections in winds and other moving objects. It is caused by the Earth's rotation and causes deflections to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. The strength of the Coriolis force depends on latitude and the speed of the moving object. It does not affect speed but only direction. Geostrophic winds blow parallel to isobars resulting from a balance between the pressure gradient force and Coriolis force. Gradient winds occur where friction is present, causing winds to flow perpendicular to the pressure gradient.
SWOT_Fu_2011_IGARSS.ppt
SWOT is a satellite mission to measure global water storage on land and ocean topography with unprecedented resolution and coverage. It will observe lakes as small as 250m x 250m, rivers 100m wide, and ocean eddies with 10km wavelengths. This high resolution data will provide key insights into water budgets on land and energy transport in oceans, enabling better climate predictions and fresh water management in response to climate change. Other applications include ocean bathymetry, sea ice thickness, and ice sheet topography.
Marmara Geodetical Hazard
The document summarizes findings from a direct path ranging experiment using an acoustic transponder network installed on the seafloor of the Sea of Marmara offshore Istanbul. The network measured no significant fault displacement along the North Anatolian Fault in the region, despite accumulating a slip deficit of at least 4 meters since the last known earthquake in 1766. Together with sparse seismic activity from ocean bottom seismometers, this indicates the fault is fully locked to at least 3 km depth, posing a seismic hazard for Istanbul from a potential magnitude 7.1-7.4 earthquake.
WE1.L09 - AN OVERVIEW OF THE DESDYNI MISSION
The DESDynI mission is an upcoming NASA/JPL satellite mission that will use L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and multibeam lidar instruments to study ice sheet dynamics, ecosystems, carbon cycling, and natural hazards. The mission aims to launch in October 2017 for a 3-year mission. Key science goals include improving understanding of ice sheet behavior and sea level rise, measuring global forest biomass and carbon fluxes, and mapping earthquake and volcanic deformation. Airborne simulators like UAVSAR and LVIS are currently being used to develop and test DESDynI measurement techniques.
Application of Satellite Geodesy in Environmental and Climate Changes
Satellite geodesy uses satellites to measure the shape and gravity of Earth. Satellite techniques like altimetry, GPS, InSAR, and GRACE monitor environmental changes from ice sheet mass balance, coastal uplift, and ground deformation. Studies using these techniques show increases in ice melt from Greenland and Antarctica, contributing to rising sea levels. InSAR effectively monitors surface changes from fluid injection into reservoirs.
IGARSS2011_SWOT_mesoscale_morrow.ppt
The document discusses how the upcoming SWOT mission will improve our understanding of ocean mesoscale and submesoscale dynamics. Current altimetry observations only partially resolve processes below 150km in scale. SWOT will have 1km resolution, allowing it to observe ocean eddies and fronts as small as 10km. This high-resolution data will improve knowledge of ocean stirring, mixing and vertical exchanges that are important for climate.

This document summarizes research on using SAR-derived sea surface winds around the Korean peninsula and their relationship to air-sea interaction. SAR imagery provides high-resolution wind data but has noise issues. The study found low winds near shore compared to offshore, supporting hypotheses about coastal meteorology. It also found evidence that land orography intensifies winds through gaps, seen in characteristic Ekman pumping structures. While noise remains a problem, SAR winds still provide meaningful ocean signals and insight into land-sea-air coupling when interpreted carefully.

The researchers used HF radar coastal currents to generate synthetic sea surface height fields from CODAR ocean current data. They compared the CODAR heights to Jason-2 altimetry retracked using different methods in the coastal zone of California. They found the Ice3 and OCE retrackers generally matched the CODAR heights better than Red3, except during blooming events where sea state varied more. Improving altimeter retracking based on CODAR heights and sea state conditions could increase the accuracy of coastal altimetry sea surface height measurements.

This document compares geometry-based Doppler ambiguity resolution methods for squint synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and presents an indirect scheme for estimating Doppler rate in low-contrast scenes. It discusses squint SAR geometry and challenges of estimating Doppler parameters. It then describes conventional, iterative, and improved Radon transform geometry-based methods for resolving Doppler ambiguity, noting the improved schemes are faster. Finally, it presents a method to indirectly estimate Doppler rate in low-contrast scenes by first estimating it in high-contrast areas and using the inverse relationship between Doppler rate and range.

This document describes a method for nonlinear unmixing of hyperspectral images using radial basis functions and orthogonal least squares. It introduces radial basis function networks for modeling nonlinear mixing and describes how the network is trained by selecting radial basis function centers using orthogonal least squares to reduce complexity. It then explains how constrained abundance estimation is performed for inversion using the trained network. Simulation results are presented using both synthetic data and a real hyperspectral image to demonstrate the approach.

This document describes using radial basis function networks (RBF) for well log data inversion. It proposes modifying a conventional two-layer RBF and introducing a three-layer RBF. Simulation experiments show the three-layer 10-27-9-10 RBF model achieves the smallest error in testing simulated well log data. When applied to real well log data, the 10-27-9-10 RBF model provides an acceptable inversion of true formation conductivity from apparent conductivity measurements.
nwood_igarss_2011_rev2.pdf
This document discusses combining space-based active microwave (CloudSat) and passive microwave (PMW) observations to improve global snowfall estimates. CloudSat uses radar to detect snowfall but has limitations without additional data. PMW provides constraints by relating brightness temperature depression to ice water path. The authors aim to use optimal estimation to relate CloudSat radar reflectivity measurements to snowfall rate, incorporating prior particle properties from ground observations. This combined approach could produce improved snowfall retrievals by leveraging the strengths of both active and passive microwave sensors.

CloudSat uses radar to detect snowfall but has limitations without additional data. PMW provides constraints by relating brightness temperature depression to ice water path. The authors aim to use optimal estimation to relate CloudSat radar reflectivity measurements to snowfall rate, incorporating prior particle properties from ground observations. This combined approach could produce improved snowfall retrievals by leveraging the strengths of both active and passive microwave sensors.

IGARSS2011_DInSAR_MORRISON.ppt
The document summarizes a seven-week experiment that looked at the differential phase behavior of a sandy soil in response to varying moisture content using C-band SAR. Large phase changes over 180 degrees were observed in the absence of physical surface movement as the soil dried from 40% to 10% moisture content. A linear relationship was found between phase and soil moisture over a range from 0.16 to 0.38 within a spatially averaged 1.5m x 1.5m region. The entire phase history could be explained by approximately 1cm changes in the depth of the reflecting layer, though the phase signal is likely an interference effect between surface and volume returns.

Climates of Non-uniform Terrain
This document discusses climates of non-uniform terrain. It covers the effects of spatial inhomogeneity and topography on climate. Spatial inhomogeneity can cause advective effects as air passes between surfaces, like the clothesline effect within vegetation canopies or the leading edge effect between surface types. Topography influences climate through radiation loading on different slopes and aspects, and by generating or modifying winds like anabatic and katabatic winds within valleys. Thermal circulation systems also form between land and water bodies due to their differing heat capacities and transfer properties.

This document discusses the use of LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to analyze topographic changes caused by hurricanes. LIDAR uses light pulses to map surface elevations from aircraft. It was used to map areas in North Carolina before and after Hurricane Irene, allowing scientists to identify regions of erosion (shown in red) and accretion (shown in blue). Specifically, LIDAR data and aerial photographs of an area called "Location 1" on the Core Banks before and after the hurricane show widespread shoreline retreat and overwash deposits from storm waves and surge.

SAR observations show various marine atmospheric boundary layer phenomena including atmospheric gravity waves, vortex streets, and katabatic winds. WRF model simulations capture the key features of these phenomena as observed by SAR, including wave patterns, vortex shedding, and finger-like katabatic wind descents. The synergy of high-resolution SAR observations and WRF model simulations provides insight into the generation and evolution of important atmospheric conditions over the ocean surface.
A Drought In The Wind
The wind is a dynamic element of the global climate system. In order to assess wind resources and the risks posed by infrequent but exceptional events accurately, it is critical to understand the wind’s temporal variability and spatial structure, as well as the physical mechanisms that influence its behavior.

The Causes of Unequal Distribution of Rainfall in the Earth and Prediction Pe...
This article investigated the reasons for changes in rainfall over the years. It was revealed that the change in the
rate of rotation in regard to the Earth's atmosphere can wag to the distribution of rainfall. As subtropical and
polar regions of the Northern Hemisphere are influenced by synoptic processes, the speed of the atmosphere
often here exceeds the speed of the Earth. Therefore, in these regions the difference in rainfall is 400 - 500 mm
or more over the years. In this regard, the paper analyzes the effects of atmospheric forces on the speed of
movement and shows the direction of the actions. As a result, by the help of harmonic analysis the distribution
of rainfall for a 60 year period was evaluated.
For the cycle of the years 1900-2009 the range of precipitation fluctuations was analysed with the use of
Shuster’s Method, which detected periods and divided them into harmonious ranges. At the end, distribution
graphic was compiled, based on defined Fourier coefficients.
According this graphic its possible to forecast precipitation distribution of Lankaran Region for next 50 years
and, based on ths, it is possible to forecast meteorological drought. Based on this calculation, in the 40 years
after 2018 precipitation will decrease. The method employed here can be used for each region of the world.

This document summarizes a tomographic seismic velocity study of the shallow crust in the Eastern Marmara region of Turkey. Seismic refraction data was collected along a 120 km profile crossing active fault zones. Tomographic inversion of first-arrival travel times produced a 2D velocity model down to 7 km depth showing significant velocity heterogeneity. Areas of high and low seismic velocity correlate well with the locations of aftershocks from the 1999 Izmit earthquake, suggesting a relationship between crustal structure and seismicity along fault zones in the region.
1.Solar-Radiation.Energy.Temp-09.ppt
The document discusses global patterns of climatic elements like solar energy and temperature. It explains that solar insolation is controlled by factors like sun angle, day length, cloud cover, and surface albedo. Land areas generally receive more solar energy than adjacent bodies of water. Horizontal temperature patterns are influenced by sun angle, land-sea contrasts, ocean currents, elevation, albedo effects, and atmospheric circulation. Isotherms on maps will shift equatorward over cold surfaces and poleward over warm surfaces.

This document summarizes a study comparing the morphological impacts of an extreme winter storm and a summer storm on a sandy beach in Biscarrosse, France. Shoreline and inner bar positions were monitored before, during, and after each storm using video data. Despite significantly different storm thresholds, with the winter storm having higher and longer lasting wave heights, the shoreline and inner bar recovered to their pre-storm positions within a week of both storms. Analysis of wave conditions before the storms found that the energy levels were similar, and falling conditions after each storm favored rapid recovery. The beach morphology may have also been close to equilibrium prior to each storm. The summer storm caused only minor, temporary erosion while a slight upward shift in beach
A study on severe geomagnetic storms and earth’s magnetic field H variations,...
For our study, we have selected ten severe geomagnetic storms. Which occurred during the years 1994 to 2015. Here great geomagnetic storm of Dst index from -422 nT to -17 nT are taken. These storms are significant not only because of the extremely high magnetic activity but also due to their great impact on the geomagnetosphere. We have studied the relation between severe geomagnetic storms with Earth’s magnetic field in horizontal component (H constant) and also studied the relation between Dst index with sunspots number. The H constant data from Kyoto data centre and Dst index, Ap index, Kp index from OMNI data centre. We have found that the Dst is at very lowest level in this storm period, Ap index Kp index are increased in severe geomagnetic storm period and H Constant is at very lowest level in storm period. We have found that geomagnetic storms were induced to form the cyclones within 29 days. The Sunspots numbers are increased to induce to geomagnetic storm within 5 – 15 days

CEDAR2014-McMurdo
The document summarizes initial measurements of mesospheric gravity waves over McMurdo, Antarctica using infrared imaging. Over 300 gravity wave events were observed and analyzed over the 2012 season. The observed horizontal wavelengths averaged 22 km, phase speeds averaged 53.3 m/s. Wave propagation directions varied seasonally, with northwest in fall, isotropic in winter, and southwest in spring. Comparisons show similar wave characteristics to other Antarctic sites, but McMurdo exhibits a wider range of phase speeds. Ongoing analysis will help understand pan-Antarctic gravity wave climatology.
Wright mdis2019 shared
(a) Tectonic InSAR has provided insights into earthquake processes over the past 3 decades since its beginnings in the 1980s. Measurements from over 150 earthquakes have shown that ruptures can be more complex than expected and that surface slip is a poor indicator of slip at depth. Earthquakes have also been found to trigger other quakes dynamically or be structurally controlled.
(b) Interseismic strain accumulation along faults can now be measured using large InSAR data stacks, finding focused strain that may be constant throughout the earthquake cycle. However, uncertainties remain about applicability in all regions.
(c) Postseismic deformation and aseismic slip transients exhibit complex spatial patterns but overall decay

This study uses GPS radio occultation measurements from the COSMIC-2 satellite to investigate atmospheric gravity wave characteristics over South America. It analyzes the spatial, temporal, and seasonal variations in gravity wave potential energy from 2021-2022. The results show the highest potential energy in summer and spring due to convective activities and mountain waves. The study aims to improve understanding of gravity wave coupling dynamics in the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere.
Indian summer monsoon
This document analyzes the relationship between the Indian summer monsoon and the Northern and Southern Annular Modes. It finds that the Southern Annular Mode in June and the North Atlantic Oscillation in April can influence Indian monsoon rainfall, with a stronger effect when the SAM is positive and NAO is negative. This combination is linked to negative rainfall anomalies in southwest and central India but positive anomalies in northeast India, resembling monsoon break conditions. The study indicates these large-scale atmospheric modes may help predict July-August rainfall patterns over India.

The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

(2011),Characteristics of Ocean Surface Winds in the Lee of an Isolated Island observed by Synthetic Aperture Radar, Mon. Wea. Rev. 2.Coastal meteological phenomena forced by headlands
- 8. No significant island wakes (17%)
- 9. Type B
- 10. Wind shadows in the lee of the island accompanying low-level jets on both sides of the shadow area (27%)
- 11. Type C
- 12. Low-level jets formed in the lee of the island , same as the case study on May 22 2009 (19%)
- 13. Type D
- 15. Inverse Froude number (Fr)Theoretical flow regimes on the non-dimensional mountain height ĥ < 1: small amplitude waves (quasi-linear and weakly nonlinear ranges) ĥ ~ 1: wave breaking -> a wave-induced stagnant layer -> onset of downslope winds ĥ > 1: upstream stagnation, flow splitting and lee vortices
- 17. Types B, C, and D : non-dimensional mountain height (ĥ ) dependence
- 18. Type B: under the large ĥ (>2.0) flows
- 19. Type D: under relatively small ĥ (< 1.75) flows
- 20. Type C: in the transition range of types B and D (1.0 < ĥ < 2.5)Wake types and their ĥ -dependent transition are qualitatively consistent with the theoretical regimes
- 22. Temperature & wind vertical profile from rawinsonde soundings @ Sapporo & Wakkanai Wakkanai Sapporo temperature Potential temperature Southeasterly stratified flows in the atmospheric boundary layer caped by westerlies in the above later. Mountain height ~100m => Non-dimensional mountain height ~1.9 Condition for wave breaking (downslope winds) regime
- 23. at lower layer (~500m): southeasterly => gap winds at 500~1000m layer: south-southeasterly interacts with mountains in the headlands => onset of downslope winds Hypothesis: layer-dependent orographic forcing Headland heights~1000m
- 25. More investigation is needed to clarify the mechanism of orographic forcing.
