Wind speed Sample Clauses

Wind speed. The exchange of gas or gas transfer velocity is dependent on the wind speed at the air-water interface. If the wind speed is over 3 m/s it will excite the release of dissolved gases from the water.

Wind speed. For practical assessment, it is convenient to use a unified wind speed-wave height relationship (perhaps different for the open sea and coastal areas) rather than use wind speed as an additional standard. The problem in the derivation of such a unified relation is that the relation between wind speed and wave height strongly depends on the fetch, wind duration and relation between the wind sea and swell. Because these factors depend on location, the relation between the wind speed and wave height is location dependent, even when considered in a statistical sense. The well-known semi-empirical formula by Xxxxxxxxxxxxx for the wind sea (taken from Xxxxxx, 1999), h  0.243 vw th0.011 gF / v2 , 2 s g w (1) where F , m, is the fetch length, and wind speed vw is assumed at 10 m height above the free surface, gives for the unlimited fetch (open sea) an expression h  0.0248v2 , or s w vw  6.354 hs , (2) denoted as Unlimited Fetch in Figure 3. This figure shows also a recommendation for the wind speed-wave height relationship for fully developed seas in the open areas according to NATO (1983), denoted as STANAG 4194, and hindcast data for two open-sea locations, West Shetland (generated by Oceanweather Inc. for the period from 1988 to 1998) and South-East of Iceland (generated by MET Norway for the period from 1955 to 2009, denoted SE Iceland). Both these locations are characterised by severe wind and are strongly affected by swell, representing typical North Atlantic met-ocean climate. The semi-empirical relation (2) agrees well with the hindcast data for both locations and provides slightly conservative estimation of the required wind speed for a given significant wave height, which might be due to the presence of swell in the hindcast data, which increases wave heights at moderate wind speeds and has less influence at greater wind speeds. The recommendation NATO (1983) agrees well with the semi- empirical formula at moderate wind speeds, but under-estimates wave heights at wind speeds greater than 12 m/s. Formula (2) is recommended by SHOPERA for the open sea. For coastal areas, the influence of limited fetch for offshore wind can be very significant. Figure 4 shows wind speed as a function of significant wave height for 10, 20 and 30 miles fetch in comparison with the relation (2) for unlimited fetch (denoted as Unlimited Fetch). For comparison, the wind speed-wave height relationship is shown also according to the following sources:  2013 Interim Guidelin...

  • Plans and Specifications Tenant shall be solely responsible for the preparation of the final architectural, electrical and mechanical construction drawings, plans and specifications (called “plans”) necessary for Tenant to construct the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, which plans shall be subject to approval by Landlord’s architect and engineers and shall comply with their reasonable requirements to avoid aesthetic or other conflicts with the design and function of the balance of the Building. Landlord’s approval is solely given for the benefit of Landlord, and neither Tenant nor any third party shall have the right to rely upon Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans for any purpose whatsoever other than that Landlord does not object thereto under this Lease. Landlord’s architects and engineers shall respond (with approval or disapproval) to any plan submission by Tenant within 8 business days after Landlord’s receipt thereof. If Landlord fails to respond to any such submission within such 8 business day period, which failure continues for more than 2 business days after Tenant gives Landlord a written notice (the “Deemed Approved Notice”) advising Landlord that such plan submission shall be deemed approved within 2 business days of Landlord’s receipt of the Deemed Approved Notice, then such plan submission shall be deemed approved hereunder. The Deemed Approved Notice shall, in order to be effective, contain on the first page thereof, in a font at least twice as large as the font of any other text contained in such notice, a legend substantially as follows: “FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE WITHIN TWO (2) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT HEREOF SHALL CONSTITUTE LANDLORD’S APPROVAL OF SUBMITTED PLANS.” In the event Landlord’s architect’s or engineers’ approval of Tenant’s plans is withheld or conditioned, Landlord shall send prompt written notification thereof to Tenant and include a reasonably detailed statement identifying the reasons for such refusal or condition, and Tenant shall promptly have the plans revised by its architect to incorporate all reasonable objections and conditions presented by Landlord and shall resubmit such plans to Landlord. Landlord’s architects and engineers shall respond (with approval or disapproval) to any plan re-submission by Tenant within 8 business days after Landlord’s receipt thereof.

Tenant agrees it shall be solely responsible for the timely preparation and submission of all such plans and for all elements of the design of such plans and for all costs related thereto.
