The jet stream is a very strong force and pushing a balloon into it is like pushing up against a brick wall, but once we got into it, we found that, remarkably, the balloon went whatever speed the wind went.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The jet stream is the controlling influence over the world's weather systems.
Young people, those who think they're experts in science, there's no doubt. They just believe it, and so there has to be an explanation - and whatever man is doing has caused the jet stream to slow down, and that is permitting the polar vortex.
We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
Wind is a floating wave of air, whose undulation continually varies.
Windmills, which are used in the great plains of Holland and North Germany to supply the want of falling water, afford another instance of the action of velocity. The sails are driven by air in motion - by wind.
The more violent the storm, the quicker it passes.
My boy, one small breeze doesn't make a wind storm.
I can look up in the air and see where the wind is gonna change direction.
On this day there was soon wind enough and to spare. The same might have been said of the sea. The Spray was in the midst of the turbulent Gulf Stream itself. She was jumping like a porpoise over the uneasy waves.
Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it.
