eddy

Preposition: of

• water: We hold each other, sitting with our legs over the edge of the wooden beam, over the eddies of the water.
• wind: Eddies of wind and rain with boughs and shrubs mixed in the air.

Converse of object

• recirculate: This may represent sediment supplied by cliff erosion being entrained by the westward flowing recirculating eddy ( Dyer, 1971 ).
• cause: For example the areas of red and blue in the North Atlantic are the eddies caused by the gulf stream.
• use: The gates are placed so that you must make tricky cross-current moves and use the eddies and waves.
• create: The warm wind passing above the house during the day does not enter the courtyard but merely creates eddies inside.
• form: There was a right hand bend which formed a beautiful eddy over which hangs a very large bush.

Adjective modifier

• mesoscale: The influence of wind forcing is addressed, as is the role of mesoscale eddies by performing a few high-resolution runs.
• turbulent: Neptune can also have turbulent eddies form in its atmosphere.
• tidal: The Shambles is within the area of an anticlockwise tidal eddy east of the headland.
• strong: The Leys Bend presents a number of hazards, including fast water, large & strong eddies, a rock island.
• large: Eventually we got on the water, and played in some small eddies, waiting for them to become large eddies.

Modifies a noun

• diffusivity: This temperature gradient microstructure is then used to quantify the vertical structure of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation and vertical eddy diffusivity ( e.g.
• covariance: The original calibration and corroboration of the SPA model was against long-term eddy covariance data from the Harvard Forest, Massachusetts.
• whirlwind: The 20th of March showing four eddy whirlwind events.
• viscosity: Numerical Equations These are based on the diffusion equation in one dimension, where is the eddy viscosity.
• flux: Is it important to resolve such eddy fluxes in order to represent adequately the ocean's biological carbon pump?
• correlation: Observational methods, e.g. eddy correlation techniques to measure turbulent fluxes or measurement of mean profiles to infer turbulent transport.

Noun used with modifier
