Strasbourg's location in the Rhine valley, sheltered from the dominant winds by the Vosges and Black Forest mountains, results in poor natural ventilation, making Strasbourg one of the most atmospherically polluted cities of France.

Because I study climate, perhaps, I was a little skeptical of the claim : at a given site and time period, you'll usually see one or two dominant wind patterns, and see that change with seasons.

To ensure the long-term sustainability of lakes and ponds, key issues that should be considered in their design include catchment hydrology and water level, and layout of the pond / lake ( oriented to dominant winds to facilitate mixing.

Ganja-Dashkasan region, and also the administrative areas of Sharur and Julfa, located in Autonomous Republic of Nakhchivan are favorable territories areas for construction of wind farm due to the dominant winds average yearly speed of which make up 3 5 m / s.

Numerical models also show that the evolution of orogens, their final tectonic structure, and the potential development of a high plateau, all are sensitive to the long term climate over the mountains, for example, the concentration of precipitation in one side of the orogen due to orographic lift under a dominant wind direction.

After it had reached a near-zero rotation, it's not inconceivable that drag from the atmosphere could set it spinning in either direction, and since it seems that the dominant winds in the atmosphere are retrograde, it should be of no surprise that its rotation is retrograde as well .-talk ) 06 : 19, 6 April 2012 ( UTC)

There are a larger number of stars grouped around the east-west axis of this navigation system since the Caroline Islands are an east-west island chain, most voyages occur in those directions, and for seven to eight months of the year the dominant winds are north easterly . } } These dominant winds are referred to as " etiu-mai-rakena-efang " ( or " a wind coming from north of east " ) . }}
