Those characteristics can include a brief dip in air pressure, a change in wind direction, a change in wind speed, a rise in air temperature or a dip in ultraviolet light reaching the rover.

The reason for the faster book speed was outside air temperature that was 5 degrees Celsius lower than the standard for 40, 000 feet.
It recommends introducing an approach similar to air-traffic control to speed up pier use and co-ordinate river boats better with other modes of travel.
If the bullet is highly aerodynamic, it only brings a fraction of the air it hits up to speed, so we can multiply our range by 10 or so.
You'll also get a chance to visit different properties to see if they meet your standards, as not all have modern conveniences such as air conditioning and high-speed Internet access.
And if air travel is more your speed, why not take to the skies aboard this zero-emission Elektra airplane, which spends its downtime soaking up the suns rays in a solar hangar.

The 3D conversion is well done and particularly in the action scenes, as one watches F-14s zooming through the air it enhanced the feeling of speed and depth.
Earlier Sanna had explained that overcast skies and no wind made for a good top speed, but the air temperature, 28 degrees Celsius (83 degrees Fahrenheit), was too warm to sustain it for an entire lap--the engine would overheat.
Armstrong spent seven years at NACA's high-speed flight station at Edwards Air Force Base in California, becoming one of the world's best test pilots.
The wind gains strength from the thermal energy of the ocean, eventually condensing vapors and circulating air fast enough to form high-speed wind and heavy rain.

"High-speed rail has three advantages over air travel, " Si Xianmin is reported to have said with refreshing frankness.
But they have not been widely adopted because they have to be accelerated to Mach 1 (the speed of sound) before the air inside them becomes compressed enough for them to work.
Burning 3, 785 liters of fuel an hour, they turn left and right and speed up and slow down as air traffic controllers on the ground try to arrange them like a conga line for their final approach to the runway.
