écoulement éolien

CONT: Ces écoulements éoliens diffèrent des écoulements hydriques. En effet, bien que canalisés par la topographie, ils n'ont pas de berges et ils remontent les versants peu raides exposés au vent.

CONT: These wind flows differ from water flows. Although effectively channelled by the topographical features, they have no banks and they blow over relatively gentle windward slopes.
OBS: Wind flow is created by the uneven heating of the earth's atmosphere by the sun, the earth's rotation, and surface irregularities in the earth. Wind flow can be harnessed to produce wind energy or wind power.
