Meteorological wind data is requested by a variety of companies and organizations every day. What are some areas (government, private, etc.) or natural events where wind data would be necessary to have? An example of this can be seen when wind data was requested after a nuclear reactor melted down at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. What are some other examples of situations where wind plays an important role? (Your response must be 100 words at minimum for full credit) Respond reflectively to at least two of your peers. Are the areas you chose similar to theirs? (Remember responses to other students must be a minimum of 5 sentences) The beach is the first place that comes to mind where the wind measurement is extremely important. The wind measurements at beaches help to determine the tide speed and strength. This is incredibly important because currents can become very dangerous fairly quickly, and people need to be warned to get out and stay out of the water. Wind also generates waves, which can obviously be dangerous if they become too big and powerful for humans to be able to handle. An example of a natural event where wind data is incredibly important would be a hurricane. Direction and strength of wind needs to be measured to determine where the storm is heading and how severe it will be.
