We call moving air the wind. In this enlarged edition, find out about the wind - what causes it, how it can be used to help us, and how it affects the weather. Arthur Dorros shows you how to make your own weather vane, and in simple terms, with playful illustrations, he explains just what makes the wind that blows all around us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: B95 can feel it: a stirring in his bones and feathers. It's time. Today is the day he will once again cast himself into the air, spiral upward into the clouds, and bank into the wind. He wears a black band on his lower right leg and an orange flag on his upper left, bearing the laser inscription B95. Scientists call him the Moonbird because, in the course of his astoundingly long lifetime, this gritty, four-ounce marathoner has flown the distance to the moon—and halfway back! B95 is a robin-sized shorebird, a red knot of the subspecies rufa. Each February he joins a flock that lifts off from Tierra del Fuego, headed for breeding grounds in the Canadian Arctic, nine thousand miles away. Late in the summer, he begins the return journey. B95 can fly for days without eating or sleeping, but eventually he must descend to refuel and rest. However, recent changes at ancient refueling stations along his migratory circuit—changes caused mostly by human activity—have reduced the food available and made it harder for the birds to reach. And so, since 1995, when B95 was first captured and banded, the worldwide rufa population has collapsed by nearly 80 percent. Most perish somewhere along the great hemispheric circuit, but the Moonbird wings on. He has been seen as recently as November 2011, which makes him nearly twenty years old. Shaking their heads, scientists ask themselves: How can this one bird make it year after year when so many others fall? National Book Award–winning author Phillip Hoose takes us around the hemisphere with the world's most celebrated shorebird, showing the obstacles rufa red knots face, introducing a worldwide team of scientists and conservationists trying to save them, and offering insights about what we can do to help shorebirds before it's too late. With inspiring prose, thorough research, and stirring images, Hoose explores the tragedy of extinction through the triumph of a single bird. Moonbird is one The Washington Post's Best Kids Books of 2012. A Common Core Title.

Download or read book Dynamic Soaring Dissected written by Colin Taylor and published by Grosvenor House Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-26 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dynamic Soaring Dissected Albatrosses fly over the oceans in swooping, curving flight gliding thousands of kilometres in search of food, mostly without flapping their wings. This is known as dynamic soaring, which is the use of the energy of the horizontal wind to sustain speed and height. It is different from the soaring flight of most other birds and gliders which use the vertical motion of the air to maintain or gain height. Since the 1880's, a time before manned gliding flight had been achieved, the mechanism of dynamic soaring has been poorly explained by the Rayleigh cycle or the wind gradient theory. However, there is more to dynamic soaring than the wind gradient and furthermore, the true nature of albatross flight has only recently been revealed by filming and GPS tracking. Dynamic Soaring Dissected takes up the discussion where it was left in the 19th century and explains how aircraft and birds fly. It looks at albatross flight through the lens of electronic tracking and takes us on a foraging trip with an albatross in long-distance soaring flight. In the Windward Turn Theory, it describes the mechanism of dynamic soaring and the hidden effect of the wind on a bird or an aircraft in flight. It explains the way that albatrosses are able to turn this effect to their advantage and how they are able to dynamic soar crosswind, upwind and downwind. It also describes how radio-control gliders can achieve huge speeds in circling flight and settles the perennial debate on the Myth of the Downwind Turn and what really happens when an aircraft turns downwind and ends up in a stall and spin accident.
